Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor received fines and suspensions from the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Tuesday that would make each fighter eligible to fight again as early as April.
The suspensions stemmed from their roles in a post-fight melee last October in UFC 229 in Las Vegas.
Nurmagomedov, the reigning UFC lightweight champion, was fined $500,000 and received a nine-month suspension. That suspension can be reduced to six months if he participates in an anti-bullying public service announcement. The commission must approve the PSA and how it is distributed.
