Khabib and his team knew at the time that there would be fierce consequences, but that didn’t hold them back. Now, months later, we are finally hearing what those consequences are.
First up, McGregor:
Official: Conor McGregor has been suspended six months and fined $50k for his role in the post-UFC 229 melee. His suspension expires on April 6, 2019.

If you think $50K is harsh, then that is nothing compared to what Khabib is to fork out. His fine is 10 times that, yes, you heard right, 10 TIMES! So although McGregor has hardly gotten away without punishment, he can rejoice in the fact that it could have been a lot worse. As well as a nine-month penalty. Abubakar Nurmagomedov, who jumped into the cage after the fight has been suspended one year and fined $25k. But even though Khabib’s suspension will be up 3 months before Abubakar, he has vowed he will not set foot in Nevada until his entire team can.
