LAS VEGAS – The Nevada State Athletic Commission will be filing a complaint against Khabib Nurmagomedov . As to the severity of that complaint, a “comprehensive investigation” will determine the potential sanctions faced by the UFC lightweight champion for starting a brawl at UFC 229 following his win over Conor McGregor , NSAC executive direction Bob Bennett told MMAjunkie. Nurmagomedov jumped the fence after submitting former two-division champ McGregor and exchanged punches with McGregor teammate and Bellator fighter Dillon Danis.
