- Conor McGregor and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov faced punishment from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on Tuesday for their respective roles in the melee following their fight at UFC 229 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The NAC fined McGregor $50,000 and suspended him six months retroactive to the day of their fight. Nurmagomedov was fined a whopping $500,000 and given a nine-month suspension, but that can be reduced to six if he does a NAC-approved anti-bullying PSA. The suspensions aren't a problem, but the fines are and so is the NAC's declaration that speech from fighters should be curtailed.

Khabib should make an anti bully ad with the athletic commision being the bully
KoreanBritish he already said he won’t do the anti bullying campaign and won’t come back until his team is back
@@aunttelly Or in other words, he's making Ferguson wait yet again and happy to sit on the belt while the most exciting division in UFC right now stalls and loses all momentum.
I like the idea of Khabib taking part in an anti-bullying campaign. He can just show them a video of his fight with Conor
people accused of murder got out of it with 300k for lawyer. it is joke
Weasel Lawyers need to be shamed,....but they're a special breed if creature that doesn't feel things like Shane ,embarrassment or even public censure....as long as they get away with the spoils/$$$ ..
You hit the nail on the head with this. NSAC is gonna have a nice christmas this year
So let me get this right, Luke Thomas is fine with the USADA changing the rules every which way for Jon Jones to avoid a doping ban, but demands a set of rules cast in stone for the NAC fining process. What a hypocrite.
@@luckyspurs Luke has been one of USADA's most vocal critics over this whole JJ debacle.
EXCELLENT LUKE. Fantastic breakdown and I'm in 100% agreement.
If I were Khabib, I would never fight in Nevada again, they would never make a damn penny off of me again, never in my life. And if UFC do not help him pay it off, I would not fight in UFC again neither.
Wayne Staples that’s what khabib has to do but khabib is getting blinded by fame and money.
He'd miss out on way more than $500,000 if he took your advice, while also damaging his reputation as he'd look like he was avoiding Ferguson, Askren and even a more peak Conor.
Largemouth Bassman I don’t think he looses much khabib is already a megastar if he dumps the ufc he will have no problem doing anything he wants by doing this to him they only make him more popular in my book he don’t need the ufc any more khabib is a champ ufc or not ufc he did what people wanted him to do stand up for him self
i like ur comment bro.
@Magic Minefreaker When McGregor loses his next 2-3 fights, nobody will give him the time of day anymore.
500k is a lot man and I'm not one of the people who thinks what happened was ok but damn 500k!?
It seems a lot but percentage wise it's exactly the same as an average fighter on 20 grand getting fined 5 grand for jumping the cage and attacking the opposite corner, deserved or not.
@Rukh lol
Dr. Loomis no need to show off about how much you earn... at that wealth and yet you haven’t learnt to keep your mouth shut because of how life goes...
Wow they charge a guy that has millions of dollars in the bank 50k, & then they charge the guy that barely made a couple millions for one 1 fight 500k that's ridiculous, plus he has to do some type of anti bully program so they can reduce it to 6 months. Talk about catering the rich.
Khabib is rich he probably made about 7 to 9 million for fight
@@chris-mc4dg he probably? That means you are not sure if he made that much. Be careful brother
@@alhassangangu4357 1 i am not your brother and 2 dont try to tell me i should be careful what if i am not you going to hunt me down
😂😂😂 a millionaire gets fined more than another millionaire.. nice try with the "down with the poor" narrative
Matthew Aravena 50k to 500k it's a big difference, am pretty sure Conor wouldn't be pleased paying half a mil for a fine, it don't matter if there rich it effects them drastically. I never said Khabib wasn't rich I said they charge the guy that made a couple millions in 1 fight 500k while the other that's been making millions upon millions every fight 50k that's a BIG difference.
I'm curious to see what kind of bonuses the Nevada State Athletic Commission dull out to the management this year.
NAC = crooks. Khabib 100K , Conor 50K. 500K is ridiculous.
@Rukh Even before he got paid, he used his own money to provide safe water to people in Nigeria. Many other good things.
@Rukh thanks khabib's accountant. I'll go ahead and learn all about it.
Rukh
He could do anything and you’d think it’s a big scheme. The man could walk an old women across the road and you’d say ‘it’s all publicly’.
@Rukh #SPAM
@@J_Tevo maybe even pay a homeless man to do pushups for cash while he laughs.... all good deeds
I have always followed Luke Thomas analysis for a long time. He is soo right in his judgement. Man I can't believe it....Even Tyson was fined 10% of this fight purse for his worst fight. I hope the MMA community come closer to fight this. Thank Luke for your fair assessment and giving a voice for this issue....
So what do they do with the $500 grand? Line their pockets is what.
You mean the IRA terrorists. @MrBrenman21
Christmas kitty, mostly champagne and strippers for the red witch.
These fines go back to the government
work every day no they don’t.
work every day it goes to the nsac budget.. aka payroll
WE NEED TO PROTEST THE 500K FINE. WTF
Yea that will make them give it back or even thunk twice about the next aggregious fine they dull out!lmao your naive
you need to stay in the ring.deserved it
@@datruthhurts3984
He was a man who defended himself from them Irish bullies. Then, simply retaliated.
Tyson 10% of purse for ear bite its not just 500k Khabibs lawyer cost and probably missing out on 2 fights because of suspension that = millions probably
@@billblackhart But didn't Khabib and his fanboys say Khabib doesn't care about money?
This is minor...the real news is that Artem has left the UFC.
So sad
Good riddance
He was cut
Usama Sheikh he wasn’t cut lmao he asked for a release and the ufc agreed there’s a espn article on it.
wow. mma may never recover from this
it reminds me of the time the Nevada state commission tried to fine Conor heavily for throwing those monster cans at Nate, and then suddenly back tracked when Conor gave them the middle finger and said he'd fight in a different state lol, its surprising how lenient people can be when they know they'll potentially lose alot of money
$500k jesus for a little brawl thats insane. khabib did mess up but damn, and on top 9 months suspension.
If I was khabib I’ll never fight again! That’s not fkn fair
When Luke said that all Conor was fined in NY was the costs of the bus repairs, all I could think of was "Safelite repair, Safelite replace."
Great reporting and analysis Luke. I 100% agree
Khabib teaches kids to stop bullying. Khabib Eagle Bear Smash!
Just don’t fight in Nevada anymore Khabib. 500k is absolute BS
Luke is right on this one. There should be clear procedure. As for the fine it self, It is gross and egregious to fine someone that amount of money. However, consider the fact that these two foreigners come to America to make most of their money, there should be circumstances in place to harshly fine and penalize them. The fines themselves are ridiculous. But so are the salaries. Chris Paul makes 40 million. Conor and Khabib made millions. There should be mind blowing fines.
If I was Khabib I would NEVER fight in Vegas again !!!
Dennis Cole he already said he won’t. And he won’t come back until November
Thanks so much for these breakdowns Luke... keep up the great work on ALL THE PLATFORMS where you do so ... missed MMA Hour this week , hope all is well
Khabib should have been fined 150k MAX
Khabib is my second favorite fighter (Jones is 1st) 500k is a perfectly fine number. Compare this action to actions similar to this in other sports. For example the brawl in the palace. Artest was fined like 6m O'Neal was fined like 6m and Stephen Jackson was fined over 1m also Gilbert arenas was fined 10m. 500k is a perfectly fine number
Brendon Dowdy A half million dollars for an incident that lasted no more than 30 seconds where no one was hurt is insane. Id have to lose a limb to successfully sue someone for that sum of money.
@@TA2MIKE74 to the average Joe yes but if Floyd mayweather jumped over the ring and punched you 4 times you would more than likely receive tens of millions of dollars. Khabib is not a regular dude.
He jumped out the ring and attacked a spectator, weather Dani’s is a pro fighter or not he’s lucky he wasn’t banned for life
@Paddy O'Yakkin to put in perspective. Those players gave up not only more money but a higher percentage of their income. For an action like that only being fined 25% of his purse (before he gets ppv points which is where most of the money will come from) seems extremely fair and in comparison to other sports is actually drastically lighter. Also it's stated that 500k was agreed on as a settlement meaning they probably wanted a longer suspension and less money to which khabib offered more money less time so the number is only that large because he traded time for money I would be willing to bet my life on.
"...habitual line-steppers..."
Anyone else get the Charlie Murphy Rick James reference? 😂😂😂
I now like Luke for this one moment 😂
"habitual line-steppers" -Charlie Murphy
there's ALWAYS room for this quote..
Thank you Luke, for maintaining a high standard of journalistic integrity
Khabib should refuse to fight in LasVegas going forward.
NAC is stealing Kahbib's hard earned money. He should sue.
Luke's killing it with these videos! Nice man
Well thought out and informed. Thanks Luke
I can't read the words "thanks Luke" without it being in Michael Bisping's voice.
Huge conflict of interests here. That fine was pure robbery.
If I were Khabib Id say F Nevada and never fight there again. Whether he is a draw or not its money he isn't gonna contribute to. Defend his belt elsewhere.
His manager says that's what Khabib is doing.
Keeping 500k IS a reason to grab your boys and jump on a plane .....
500k? I guess they wanted their christmas bonus's early this year...
This commission is a joke. Are these clowns the same folks who pick judges in boxing?
What Conor did was less offensive? He sucker punched a guy that was over 10 feet above the ground on top of the fence. That guy could have fallen and landed on his head, possibly causing death. Conor is not a first time offender either. What was his punishment for jumping over the fence and slapping the referee? Conor threw a water bottle at a press conference and hit someone in the head with it. Conor injured multiple fighters in that bus incident. Khabib jumps over the fence and goes after a fighter and this is his punishment? I seem to remember Conor jumping the fence and provoking Jose Aldo. People should be outraged about this punishment on khabib and even more outraged at Conor getting away with everything.
3 people hit Conor within a couple of minutes of him fighting another champion for 20 minutes and being choked out, one in the back of the head and without him knowing it was coming. Conor could have died from that if you're going to start using that argument.
Absolutely. Where were were all these authorities then?? Total loss of credibility. People should stop watching the UFC and move towards bellator
Connor had more money aka a much better lawyer.
@@luckyspurs They punched him AFTER he punched one of theirs.
@@ramonalejandrosuare well if Khabib hadn't of jumped out of the cage Conor wouldn't have punched his cousin. All Khabibs fault.
So true khabib is not a criminal or abusive. Khabib should retire they're not just. Why conor gets away with so much bs?Who was bullying who it wasn't Khabib!
Dana will pay his fine, because a rematch will earn them so sooo much more than 500k.
Absolutely love the breakdown. Learned a ton here. Thanks for dropping the knowledge Luke!
Agree with you Luke!!!
There is even a double standard with the commission!
I just notice that Luke's thumnails recently are hilarious.
500,000 is ridiculous. 25% is a crazy amount man. Conor only paying 50,000 is a massive insult too. Not that I want conor to pay more but khabib shouldn’t have been more than double. If that ffs
Estaban Nazam he started the brawl both khabib and his lawyers agreed
It's ridiculous but that's from his guaranteed $2 million purse. They estimate he made another $3-5 million from Pay per view points. It's still robbery but not as bad as it sounds.
Danny how is it robbery? He started it
@@noobz4hire290 I'm not saying Khabib was innocent. The fine is just a way for the crooks at NSAC to pay themselves like Luke is saying. $100k-200k would be appropriate for a 1st offense.
All Conor did was defend himself and his team.
Great vid and perspective Luke.
Always dropping truth
Once again definitely agree with you brother 👊.
Wow! 1st time I've watched one of your videos...and the last I might add!!!
Please have someone explain the concept of redundancy to you. I couldn't even finish listening to your ramblings about Khabib's financial penalty, but you were obviously impressed. Too bad you weren't able to coherently express that impression. Good luck dude....ur going to need it!
If I was KN my anti bullying commercial would be about the The commission bullying fighters.
500k is way to much;half that would already be a lot!
In reality Conor was 100 percent responsible by Bullying and they want Khabib to do a Bullying Course or whatever!!!! Lmfao
Surrounding Lobov and slapping him in the face. Saying you attacked Danis because you wanted to, not because he said anything to provoke it. That's bullying.
Who did Conor bully? He committed a criminal act attacking the bus, but I'm not even sure "bullying" quite describes that incident.
I know. It's like we're living in some kind of massive delusional paradigm, where the bully is made the hero and vice versa. I pray for the human race
Good taste in music Luke, more importantly making substantial points.
Excellent commentary Luke.
Fining based on their imagination and there’s no system of checks & balances. Unbelievable!!!!
But no one bats an eye when John Jones juices up
Pretty lame when you got to go on it's pretty lame when you got to go and talk s*** about juice it's nowhere comparison
nellie taylor wtf your not making any sense
Well said Luke,great podcast!!
Khabib: “it’s not about money”
NSAC: “okay $500,000”
Khabib: “this is number one bullshit”
I agree that 500,000 is way to much but you're wrong about him not committing a crime.
He absolutely committed assault and wasn't charged because they were also fighters who didn't want to press charges.
thebullfrog24 you are right about this but 500k isn’t fair.
@Tommy Hass then how about Cowboy Cerrone after beating Mike Perry? Yes he did jump outta cage to get his son but as per you it's a crime right?
Crime no Crime. That's semantics/ He wasn't charged with a crime so it wasn't a criminal process. That's the key point.
Tango Nevada that’s a good point. If he woulda been charged I woulda been ok with it, but he wasn’t so that should end there. The 500k thou isn’t fair at all, not even close.
What crime . i watched the video and junping towarda someone isnt a crime . he didnt punch dilon . what crime did he comit ?
“ Wake Khabib up, when Suspension ends “ -Green Day
Good insight from Luke.
Preach. You tell the truth and im behind it!
Looks like the commission will have some new chairs and coffee maker.
That is a ridiculous amount of money to take from someone who just got a decent paycheck from the UFC. Most of these fighters would be lucky to make half of that in 3 years!
Most fighters dont get revenue shares of ppv either. Most aren't champs. Most are undefeated we aren't talking about an average ufc fighter we are talking about tippy top tier ufc fighter
I know it was more than 20 years ago but remember when Cantona "kungfu" kicked that dude in the crowd when he was playing for Man Utd? I think he got a 9 month ban and a 30k pounds fine or something like that
I guess the members of the comission need a new car or a new boat??
Don't forget the strippers,coke etc etc
Love the Charlie Murphy reference “habitual line steppers” 😂.....RIP 🙏
NSAC just got funded for all of 2019 in the first month.
So Conor got fined because his trainer guy taunted Khabib after the fight? While Conor was still sitting on his butt in the corner. Who decided this....the Saints ref? 😂
Luke, excellent analysis.
Hey Luke, this suspension is just for Nevada right , so he could fight in California or New York for example so he doesn't get stripped of the belt. Also the suspension does it start today or back in October when the incident happen?
Is there an appeal process? They need a commission to oversee the commission with this kind of fraud
Best analysis in the business.
I love the Nile long-sleeve shirt. I didn't know that Luke is into death metal. Pretty cool!
*Conor attacks a bus an injuries people.. while putting others at risk.. gets a small fine.. Khabib jumps over a fence and gets a $500 000 fine..* ✅🙄
great level headed view on the fines, and this is why i always enjoy your videos. you dont have fan goggles on when you give your opinions. 50k to 500k is outrageous especially given connor's history. he had already put his hands on a ref previously.
can’t wait for the khabib anti bullying spoof commercials to start coming... lol
I like the idea of Khabib taking part in an anti-bullying campaign. He can just show them a video of his fight with Conor
he messed up cause that 500,000 was for all the cops that had to hold down that night. vegas is the last place up act up.
Luke, had no idea u listen/like Nile:) Huuuuge props for that!
Very well said luke.you are so brilliant
Bob Bennett should step down. He is so out of touch and the corruption is blatantly obvious in the State commission of Nevada.
Justice USA : Khabib- Muslim , Mc Gregor- Christian . Verdict 👉 Mc Gregor good boy , Khabib Bad boy .
well done khabib, mission accomplished,you really changed the game as you said,NSACA"Marnell: The fighters are on notice (re: their pre-fight talk).We are going to start fining and suspending for what you say as opposed to what you do"
Yup won the battle.
Luke is on FAYA🔥🔥🔥... Great job! Lit up Bob Bennett like a Xmas tree. 😂
Aw yes, a normal thunbnail where luke isnt in a public space with large headphones
Top work Luke
Well said luke. But I wanna know your watch band ? 😉
Whoa Luke is a metalhead.. that too a fan of technical death metal band Nile? Respect!!! Fortunate enough to watch em live in 2016
Luke the photogenic queen ❤️❤️
King latifah
D Cap perfect 👍🏻
I love your heart sign bro. Don't ever give up. I allow you to ref like a warrior.
#bringbacklatestopagge
you define it very well thanks, I wished you were Judge of that Court
Anyone know what ZAB and Floyd were charged during there fight or Tyson vs Holyfield or was that Lenox fight?
So are the suspensions retroactive to the day of the event or do they start now?
rock solid insights.
It shows, and one of them said (basic terms) who ever pays the most money gets the least amount of time off
no one gonna mention or notice the fact that luke is rocking a nile shirt, didnt expect that but agree with his musical tastes for sure
Is this suspension only good in Nevada, USA, Global? Could he fight anywhere before that?
Regulating speech in any form is just not going to happen....
Could someone clarify is it 6 months starting on the day of 229 or it starts today
Colin's legal team is really having to put in the work these days.
I wish half of the mma media had the level or morality and intellect that Luke Thomas has.
