On October 7 Nurmagomedov defended his UFC lightweight champion belt by defeating McGregor with a choke in the fourth round. After the fight Nurmagomedov climbed over the octagon fence and jumped on the McGregor team representative in response of insults from Dillon Denis, the sparring partner of MacGregor, resulting in a scuffle in the hall and in the octagon. Nurmagomedov and McGregor were banned from fights until December 10th.
In addition to Abubakar Nurmagomedov and Dillon Denis the hearings on November 14 will be attended by Esedulla Emiragaev, the wrestling coach of Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Zubaira Tukhugov, the manager of Nurmagomedov.
