Khabib Nurmagomedov e Conor McGregor were involved in an all-out brawl at UFC 229 in October last year. Almost three months after the confusion, the protagonists were judged by the Nevada Athletic Commission. ‘Notorious’ received a fine of US$50 (around R$180) and six months on the hook. As the penalty is retroactive to the event, he will be free to fight in early April.
