Fight after fight
On October 6, 2018, Nurmagomedov defeated McGregor by strangling and retained the UFC middleweight title. After the fight, Habib jumped out of the bounds of octagon and started a fight with Conor’s sparring partner, and several people from the Russian team attacked the Irish fighter. After that, Nurmagomedov apologized for the behavior.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission disqualified Russian MMA fighter Habib Nurmagomedov for nine months and fined him $ 500,000. The reason was the participation in the mass brawl after the fight with the Irish Conor MacGregor.
Thus, Nurmagomedov retained the title and received suspension from the fighting for a relatively short time. Disqualification runs from October 6, 2018.
McGregor also received punishment for what happened after the battle. Irish disqualified for six months and fined 50 thousand dollars. He may return to the ring in April.
