McGregor posted two messages on Twitter following the news.

'I am thankful for the Nevada Athletic Commission's fair assessment and handling of the brawl incident,' he wrote.

'It was not my intention to land the final blow of the night on my opponent's blood relative. It's just how it played out. I look forward to competing again soon. Thank you all.'

Moments later, the 30-year-old tweeted another message explaining the incident.

'The final blow of the night UFC 229 in association with McGregor Sports and Entertainment,' he wrote.

Meanwhile, Nurmagomedov tweeted 'politics forever' as two members of his team were also banned for their involvement in the incident.

The Russian's suspension will be reduced by three months if he partakes in an anti-bullying campaign in Nevada.

However, Nurmagomedov's manager Ali Abdelaziz argued his man was not the bully in this situation.

'He bullied all his opponents in the past but on Oct 6 he got humbled and bullied. Justice was served and the bully got bullied. Simple as that,' tweeted Abdelaziz, referring to McGregor.
