Following Nurmagomedov's request, Nevada Chief Deputy Attorney General Caroline Bateman admitted that she remained hopeful of avoiding the hearing altogether by reaching an adjudication before January 29.
"In the meantime, we can engage in extensive communication regarding the possibility that we can avoid a hearing and come to a resolution through an adjudication agreement," Bateman told MMA Junkie.
"Unfortunately, as of today’s date, we have not reached an agreement with Mr. Nurmagomedov or Mr. Pisanelli, and for that reason we’re asking for this hearing to be continued to the January, meeting, as well. We will continue discussions with Mr. Nurmagomedov’s camp. However we also will be preparing for a full hearing at the January meeting in case we don’t reach a resolution."
Fines and suspensions are expected for both Nurmagomedov and McGregor for their behaviour after the main event of UFC 229, when Nurmagomedov confronted the Irishman's team before McGregor exchanged punches with a Nurmagomedov associate on top of the Octagon's fence.Explore more on these topics:
