Updated | By Sky Tshabalala
The Notorious Conor McGregor has been suspended for a month on medical grounds after his UFC 229 defeat by Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor is suspended from fighting until 6 November, with no contact until the 28th October.
McGregor was beaten in Las Vegas when he tapped out in the fourth round following Nurmagomedov administering a rear-naked choke.
Nevada State Athletic Commission sanctioned the bout and confirmed McGregor was suspended from fighting until 6 November, with no contact until 28 October.
Medical suspensions are routine in UFC.
13 fighters on the Las Vegas card have been suspended from action under medical grounds.
UFC bosses have also confirmed that Nurmagomedov will not be stripped of his UFC lightweight title despite his role in a post-match brawl on Saturday.
Nurmagomedov kept his crown with a fourth-round submission victory over Ireland's Conor McGregor in Las Vegas, improving to 27-0 in his professional career and 11-0 in UFC bouts.
