UFC fighters Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor are being suspended by the Nevada Athletic Commission for a brawl that erupted inside and outside the octagon after their lightweight title fight last weekend in Las Vegas.

Letters were sent on Wednesday informing both mixed martial arts fighters that they will be suspended for at least 10 days effective Oct. 15.

A commission investigation is pending and the panel can extend the temporary suspension when it meets Oct. 24.

Nurmagomedov's $2 million for the fight has been withheld by the commission pending the outcome of the investigation.

The UFC might strip the lightweight title from Nurmagomedov.
