Most of the attention was centered around Khabib Nurmagomedov and his teammates for their actions after the UFC 229 main event, in which Khabib submitted Conor McGregor to defend his lightweight title. The Nevada Athletic Commission has already withheld Khabib’s $2 million purse after he exited the cage and tried attacking Dillon Danis, McGregor’s teammate. However, it looks like new footage will now put McGregor at risk of punishment at the hands of the commission.
NSAC chairman Anthony Marnell told ESPN on Monday the commission is conducting a full investigation into the melee that took place after Nurmagomedov’s championship win against McGregor.
