Nevada State Athletic Commission Files Complaints After UFC 229 Brawl

The Nevada State Athletic Commission says they will file formal complaints against MMA fighters Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor after a brawl broke out after their UFC 229 bout on Saturday.

The undefeated Nurmagomedov retained his lightweight title after McGregor submitted in the fourth round. Immediately after the match, Nurmagomedov jumped over the octagon cage and got to a fight with member of McGregor's entourage.

"The Nevada State Athletic Commission’s (Commission) primary function is to regulate unarmed combat within the State of Nevada. The events that occurred on October 6, 2018 at the conclusion of the Nurmagomedov-McGregor contest—the main event of UFC 229—are currently under investigation by the Commission’s Executive Director, Bob Bennet.
