Khabib Nurmagomedov from Russia will not compete in other organizations and sports during the disqualification, as reported Rizvan Magomedov the manager of the athlete.
"It does not matter, during or without disqualification, Khabib, by his exclusive contract with the UFC, does not have the right to perform in other organizations or other types of mixed martial arts, he already has a busy schedule," said Magomedov.
At the end of January, the Nevada State Athletic Commission disqualified Nurmagomedova for nine months and fined him for $500,000 for a brawl after a fight for the UFC title against Irishman Conor MacGregor. The deadline for disqualification runs from October 6, 2018. Nurmagomedov’s sentence could be reduced if he participated in social advertising, but he refused to do so. The UFC champion later announced that he plans to return to Octagon in November.
