UFC’s Nurmagomed­ov, McGregor suspended

-

Nevada regulators are suspending UFC fighters Khabib Nurmagomed­ov and Conor McGregor for a brawl inside and outside the Octagon after their match last weekend in Las Vegas. Nevada Athletic Commission executive Bob Bennett says letters were sent Wednesday informing both fighters they’ll be suspended for at least 10 days, effective Oct. 15. Bennett says the commission can extend the suspension­s when it meets Oct. 24. The fighters’ managers did not immediatel­y respond Thursday to messages seeking comment. After McGregor tapped out in the fourth round of UFC 229 on Saturday, Nurmagomed­ov scuffled with a fighter in McGregor’s corner and members of Nurmagomed­ov’s entourage climbed into the Octagon and attacked McGregor. Bennett says video shows McGregor also tried to climb out of the cage at T-Mobile Arena.
