UFC fighter Dennis Buzukja is in hot water with the Nevada Athletic Commission stemming from an altercation between him and a crowd member at an event in December. During a monthly commission hearing Tuesday in Las Vegas, Buzukja (12-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) was temporarily suspended for striking a crowd member on his way back to the locker room after cornering teammate Aljamain Sterling at UFC 310 . A decision on the matter will be tabled for a future commission meeting with terms of resolution determined in the meantime. Buzukja and teammate Merab Dvalishvili were both restrained during the altercation. The crowd member, Arman Tugaev, was later identified to be someone with connections to the Nurmagomedovs, who rivaled Dvalishvili ahead of their Jan.
