McGregor responds to NAC suspension, gets another dig in
“It was not my intention to land the final blow of the night on my opponent’s blood relative.”
On Tuesday the Nevada Athletic Commission meted out sanctions for the UFC 229 post-fight fracas.
UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov was suspended for nine months (which can be shortened to six months if he cuts an anti-bullying promo) and fined $500,000. Two of his teammates, Zubaira Tukhugov and Abubakar Nurmagomedov, were suspended for a year, and ‘The Eagle’ has vowed to not fight until they can.
Former champ champ Conor McGregor was suspended for six months, and fined $50,000. McGregor took to the social network to praise the decision, and got a decent dig in at Khabib and co.

The final word, of course, is that this is not the final word between the two camps.
