Nevada State Athletic Commission has suspended Khabib Nurmagomedov nine months and fined him $500,000 for his role in a post-fight brawl at UFC 229 back in October. Nurmagomedov can reduce the suspension to six months if he participates in an anti-bullying campaign in Las Vegas.

Bragging that he landed the best punch of the post-fight brawl is Peak Conor IMO 😀

I saw that and laughed so hard. He can't help himself. I think he was desperate to begin talking and posting and as soon as the Nevada decision came up, he started posting right away. Must have had those pics ready. 😀OzExorcist said:
BTW, don't agree with the huge fine difference. He got 10% of what Khabib received. Doesn't seem fair to me. I mean, I believe Conor should have had to get a smaller fine that Khabib, but that seems too disproportionate.

I'm the complete opposite on that - I'm kind of amazed they fined Conor at all. I can see how with his prior record they wouldn't give him the benefit of the doubt, but he just swung back at someone who'd invaded the ring to attack him.
Meanwhile Khabib jumped the fence and started a fight in the middle of the crowd.
The amount of the fine is probably about right, but I'm surprised they didn't ban Khabib for longer.

I can't fathom why anyone would want to see that - only thing that makes less sense is the idea that GSP would even want to do that.
Or that the UFC would want to do that, because it's lose-lose for them. Say they have some prospect fight GSP and GSP wins - GSP's not becoming a bigger draw because of that fight, and they've set a prospect back. Prospect wins, they damage GSP's value, and the prospect doesn't get that much shine because LOL they beat the Old Man version of GSP.
I can see him taking a few "interesting" superfights for money, I think that makes sense for all concerned.

Seems he won't be taking any more fights big, small or otherwise:

I'm glad he did retire. His last fight against Bisping he looked pretty bad compared to his old self. I don't think he could have won against any of the top 5 in that division (except for Bisping), at least top 5.OzExorcist said:
WTF.... WTF??
Woodley fought to not get beaten up. Smith forgot you need to at least go for it if you have even a puncher's chance.
Cody had me losing a decent-sized parlay 🙁
& Diego the Nightmare paid off nicely for me tonight LoL. My first fight of the night that I had a bet on... it was looking to be a good night. But then awhile later and that became the only fight of the night I won anything on at all, LOL.

Yay! I bet on Pettis too! Just had a feeling and tbh, I lost money on Wonderbread in his last fight & was really unimpressed with him.
I won a couple of other fights too but lost all of my parlays and each of them because of Davis. (Damn! She needed the takedown that 3rd round!)
