UFC President Dana White is often accused of being a lot of things. One thing you can’t deny he has is a sense of humor.
The polarizing UFC executive is currently dealing with the aftermath of the infamous UFC 229 brawl from Las Vegas. Last Saturday (Oct. 6, 2018), UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov jumped into the crowd to fight Conor McGregor’ teammate Dillon Danis.
The outburst came seconds after he submitted the Irish star in the fourth round of their anticipated grudge match. Now, the MMA universe awaits his punishment. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) withheld Khabib’s $2,000,000 purse for the fight. He and McGregor are facing complaints from the commission. They’ve also been temporarily suspended due to the incident. Khabib could even have his belt stripped. Indeed, there are a few real reasons why he could be.
The scene was one of pure madness. White chose to not put the belt on Khabib as a result. He feared the crowd would pelt his champion with whatever rubbish they had close at hand. He was probably right. White believes the NSAC shouldn’t keep his whole purse and should only fine and suspend his star.
The backlash on Khabib has been a mixed one. Khabib’s historically tough father, Abdulmanap, promised to “punish Khabib tougher than the UFC.” Meanwhile, he forgave McGregor because of his religious background.
Through it all, the normally cold and stoic Khabib has a sense of humor as well. He called out White on Instagram with a joke that he would have smashed his expensive sports car had he not given him the belt.
To that, White offered a hilarious response. Check it out here:

Dustin Poirier has been forced out of the biggest fight of his career.
News unfortunately broke tonight from ESPN’s Brett Okamoto tonight that Poirier has been forced out of his UFC 230 match-up with Nate Diaz. Poirier suffered an undisclosed injury.
The news is devastating to the No. 3-ranked ‘Diamond’s’ career trajectory. He has won three straight fights and eight out of his last 10. Poirier most recently most recently finished Eddie Alvarez at July’s UFC on FOX 30.
He was set to welcome Diaz back to the Octagon. The fan favorite Stockton slugger has been out of action since a decision loss to Conor McGregor at UFC 202 in 2016. It is unknown if Diaz will remain on the card.
Poirier’s withdrawal also comes on the same night that UFC 230 got its Daniel Cormier vs. Derrick Lewis main event. Here is how the card looks as of now:
Daniel Cormier vs. Derrick Lewis
Nate Diaz vs. TBA
Chris Weidman vs. Luke Rockhold
Ronaldo Souza vs. David Branch
Derek Brunson vs. Israel Adesanya
Brian Kelleher vs. Domingo Pilarte
Jason Knight vs. Jordan Rinaldi
Jack Marshman vs. Karl Roberson
Matt Frevola vs. Lando Vannata
Julio Arce vs. Sheymon Moraes
Sultan Aliev vs. Lyman Good
Shane Burgos vs. Kurt Holobaugh

The official UFC rankings have been updated after last weekend’s (Sat., October 6, 2018) UFC 229 from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Obviously, the biggest impact was made by UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. ‘The Eagle’ submitted former champion Conor McGregor via fourth-round neck crank (watch full highlights here) in his first title defense.
For his historic effort, Nurmagomedov rose eight full spots on the pound-for-pound list to No. 2. The undefeated wrestler only trails heavyweight and light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier for the top spot in the UFC as a result. McGregor fell the same six spots down to No. 8 at pound-for-pound. He also fell to No. 2 at lightweight. Tony Ferguson overtook him thanks to his thrilling TKO win over Anthony Pettis.
However, all of that could change pending the results of Khabib and McGregor’s complaints from NSAC. The fighters engaged in one of the most chaotic brawls in MMA history. It began when Khabib leaped into the crowd to assault McGregor’s teammate Dillon Danis. McGregor’s coach John Kavanagh recently revealed what Danis did to set Nurmagomedov off.
Three of Khabib’s teammates assaulted McGregor and were arrested. They will not face charges, however, after McGregor declined to press them. But the NSAC was not so lenient on ‘The Eagle.’ They withheld his sizable $2,000,000 purse for the fight. It is possible he could be stripped of the belt as well. UFC President Dana White recently offered his thoughts on his champ’s upcoming punishment. Nurmagomedov’s official ranking could be changing soon as a result.
But for now, ‘The Eagle’ is flying high.

The UFC 229 medical suspensions are in for last weekend’s (Sat., October 6, 2018) pay-per-view event from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
UFC 229 was a card full of blood and violence inside the cage and chaos outside of it. By now, you know that Khabib Nurmagomedov’s dominant submission win over Conor McGregor was marred by a hectic post-fight brawl.
You’d think McGregor may have received a significant medical suspension for the beating. The Irish superstar can resume fighting quite soon in actuality. In the fully released medical suspensions obtained from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) via MMA Fighting, McGregor is only suspended until November 6.
He must refrain from contact until October 28. Overall, it’s great news for McGregor as he campaigns for a rematch with “The Eagle.”
Five fighters received the full potential six-month suspension for their match-ups at UFC 229. The most notable is former lightweight champion Anthony Pettis. ‘Showtime’ threw down with Tony Ferguson in a bloody war. A broken hand forced his corner to call the co-main event off between the second and third rounds.
Pettis is actually out for 180 days pending clearance of a nasal fracture.
