Conor McGregor has been slapped with a medical suspension by the UFC.
The Irish striker was submitted in the fourth round of a dominant defeat to reigning UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 on Saturday.
As a result, he is not allowed to fight for a whole month, and has also been told he cannot engage in any contact training (sparring) until the end of October.
Once Nurmagomedov made McGregor tap, the Russian refused to celebrate, jumped the octagon fence, and charged at McGregor's cageside friend and fellow fighter Dillon Danis.
While that was happening, a brawl broke out in the cage itself, as punches were exchanged between McGregor and multiple members of Nurmagomedov's team.
Now, according to the Daily Mail, McGregor's name is featured in the latest list of medical suspensions issued by UFC. "Conor McGregor: Suspended until 6/11/18, no contact until 28/10/18."
The UFC's suspension only considers the event itself, so McGregor may face an increased ban once the Nevada Athletic Commission has concluded its investigation into the riot that erupted after.
The commission has withheld Nurmagomedov's fight salary, according to MMAFighting. McGregor, meanwhile, got paid.
