The President of the UFC Mixed Martial Arts, Dan White, formulated a punishment that the athletic commission of Nevada can award the current lightweight champion - Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov - for participating in a mass fight after a fight with the Irish fighter Conor McGregor.
“Everything is in the hands of the commission, we have no way to influence the decision -making process. I really hope that, according to the results of the hearing in December, Khabiba will be removed for no more than six months, ” Sports Illustrated quoted White as saying.
The fight, because of which the Nurmagomedov case is considered by the athletic commission of Nevada, occurred on the night of October 6 to 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas-after the Russian defeated the Irishman with a suffocating reception in the fourth round of the championship battle.
After the battle, Nurmagomedov jumped forward for the fencing of the octagon, from where he was picked by the members of the McGregor team, including his sparring partner of Dillon Danis. The police were called into the hall.
When the participants in the fight were smalled, it was decided not to transfer to Nurmagomedov the champion belt won by him. In addition, half of the Russian fee is frozen - $ 1 million.
The first hearing of the athletic commission of Nevada took place on October 24, on it the deadline for the disqualification of Nurmagomedov and McGregor was extended until December 10.
