Nevada fight regulators have postponed hearings on the suspensions of Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov for a brawl after UFC 229 in Las Vegas.
State Athletic Commission Chairman Anthony Marnell III cited continuing negotiations with Nurmagomedov’s attorneys toward a settlement that could avoid a public hearing January 29.
Commission executive Bob Bennett says McGregor’s attorneys also received a continuance.
Marnell has said fines and punishment up to a lifetime ban could be considered for the Irishman and the Russian from Dagestan.
He says the suspensions will continue until an investigation is complete.
