Conor McGregor will receive the complaint from the commission alongside Khabib Nurmagomedov

After the post-fight fight of the UFC 229, the focus has been on the lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, but it seems that Conor McGregor will also attract the attention of Nevada State Athletic Commission.

The NSAC retained Nurmagomedov's $ 2 million scholarship on a night of combat. This led to the belief that he was the only one to be examined during the NSAC's investigation into the fight that followed the fight and started when the Dagestan fighter launched. over the Octagon barrier, then into the crowd, at McGregor Cornerman's. In an interview with ESPN on Monday, Anthony Marnell, president of the NSAC, said the commission plans to file a lawsuit against Nurmagomedov and McGregor, and could sue other people involved.

"We will testify against Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov," said Marnell. "Because we have retained a wallet, we will have to proceed quickly to a complaint and a hearing.We have owned 100% of the money of a fighter.Temporary suspensions will be canceled soon and we let's aim for a final hearing date in November. "

There is no doubt that Nurmagomedov was at the origin of the physical altercations that took place on Saturday in Las Vegas, but that does not mean that he is the only one responsible for the situation. There is a video clip that did not appear in the UFC 229 broadcast and that shows McGregor trying to cross the fence, as well as this one striking other people. There are also pictures of several people getting into the cage from the outside, one of them hitting McGregor from behind.

The NSAC reviews all the available footage that it can find and interview various people involved.

Two of the individuals suspected of involvement – Zubaira Tukhugov and Islam Makhachev – are currently UFC fighters. Company president Dana White said any fighter involved outside McGregor and Nurmagomedov "would never fight (in the UFC)". But it also seems that they could face some sort of action from Nevada.

Tukhugov in particular could be in the hot water, as he claims to be the person who hit McGregor.

"There are a lot of things here," Marnell told ESPN. "Many charges can be brought against a spectator who has gone over the barricade, by the commission section and in the Octagon to hit a fighter on three occasions." For the record, I have a big problem with that, it can not happen.

"We take a very hard look at this gentleman.We know exactly who he is and where he is.I have to let the Attorney General determine – whether it is a breach of peace? Did it disturb the peace? It was a serious action that deserves a serious consequence. "

Undoubtedly, Nurmagomedov is likely to suffer the most serious consequences, because it was he who started the fight by leaving the Octagon in pursuit of Danis. McGregor, however, has been involved in many altercations surrounding events in the past, which can be taken into account when considering the seriousness of his actions.

Anyway, Marnell does not take the incident lightly. He regarded the infamous brawl between Jon Jones and Daniel Cormier as a serious event, but put the seriousness of the altercation on a much higher level.

"It's a serious problem, it's not a slight problem," said Marnell. "It's not," we slapped in the hotel lobby the week of a fight. "It's the night of the event and he must remain inside this field of battle.There are serious regulations and statutes on what happened, and the consequences must be commensurate with the actions. "

He said the fines and suspensions are still on the table for review, but did not indicate any scale as to which sanctions might be considered appropriate for the people involved.

In 2014, Jones was fined $ 50,000 and 40 hours of community service for participating in the fight with Cormier. They collapsed on a platform while they were turning to photographers. Cormier was fined $ 9,000 and served 20 hours of community service.
