oh i hope they strip him and then they book t.ferg vs. conner for the interim

I think it's about time we finally get to actually see Khabib v. Tony. If Conor can take on whoever they deem to be next for him he can fight the winner down the line

Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov’s temporary UFC suspensions have been extended indefinitely, the Nevada State Athletic Commission confirmed.

Khabib has also been branded “the catalyst” for the aftermath and the NASC unanimously voted that he will only receive half of his $2m purse so that he can pay expenses and cornermen. The other $1m is being transferred UFC to NASC for safekeeping.

Both fighters were initally suspended for 10 days by the NASC following the unsavoury scenes after McGregor’s defeat to Khabib at UFC 229.

resolution expected in December

don't know if official policy or just Dana talk, but he said if suspended they wouldn't move fights to another location

Khabib/Conor 2 in Russia would great, they could probably fill luzhniki stadium (80+k)

the rumor of ufc shutting down FW had some new legs a week or so ago.
with DJ gone, don't think anyone would even miss it

Would this be the first time a major promotion like UFC or ONE has straight up traded fighters? This is pretty big news although DJ for Askren seems like a whack trade. Guess they want to kill the FW division and get someone to take out Woodley.

from the old jre askren, seems like ONE was always willing to let askren go but dana and ufc kept on fucking w/ him. i think he has one fight left.

They won't do an end-run around the NSAC if they ever want to do a show in Vegas again. Also, most of the state commissions have reciprocal enforcement agreements with each other.

That is crazy because according to Askren Dana fucking hates him. I think Dana is on record saying that too, but Asren definitely talked about it on Joe Rogan's Podcast.
hates him and says wrestlers are boring.

Dana's not wrong, did ya'll see Bader rape Meathead along the fence last week?
