Here we go again with this drama.
My opinion ?
1 year suspension for everyone involved in both camps, purses withheld.
The UFC isn't the WWE. No need for this shit or the show Lesnar put on with Cormier.
Let's get back to the roots.

This is a follow up as to what had happened when this two met in the ring a couple of months ago. We all know that Khabib went after Conor's team after he won the fight.

Do you think it's fair that Khabib will be fined $500K + suspension? His $2 mil purse is still withheld up to now. Conor received $50K fined only. Or is this fair since Khabib is the one who started all this issue?
Khabib Nurmagomedov receives nine-month suspension, $500K fine for role in UFC 229 brawl
Quote
On Tuesday’s meeting of the Nevada Athletic Commission, a five-member committee voted in favor of a settlement agreement that will see Nurmagomedov receive a nine-month suspension and a $500,000 fine for his involvement in the UFC 229 post-fight brawl. The suspension can be reduced by up to three months pending Nurmagomedov’s participation in an anti-bullying public service announcement that must be approved by the NAC.

Sound like an unfair decision to me. I believe that the punishment for both of them should be equal or McGregor should be fined and get a bigger suspension. The trash talk that he did before the game was the incentive for this outcome in the game. Khabib is good to be fined as well due to his unprofessional behavior but the punishment for Connor is so so small.
Maybe by the presses charge with the both of them, it's unequal. I don't know why it's like that, but probably they charged higher just because he rubbed it in his face. It might be a ruse for the public to make the fight known and be spread wider. Just like nydiacaskey01 said, he did endanger a lot more. It's just the cockiness talking and as usual money solving it. Money solves everything nowadays.
All about money, this incident and those fines should really be implemented as both fighters have it's own role regarding to that matters, we knew that the game should be over after khabib won but he started the coalition and things happen quicker than anyone expected it to happen.Not a good example considering being a title holders.
Fines are absolutely correct, I also think the ban for Conor is excessive. Khabib attacked a member of the public ourside the ring, it doesn’t matter if he is Conor’s friend or relative. You can’t jump out of the ring & do that.

Well it was a big mistake to give in to his emotions though whichever way you look at it. Jumping our of the octago and out into the crowd with fists blazing isn't going to be a good image for the ufc if got a more lenient punishment considering he's the champion. He gave the ufc a clear reason to fine and suspend him so for me it's fair. Lessons learned the hard way. He took it too personally and he allowed his emotions to get the better of him.
It's a bit fair in my opinion. he still got what? like $1.5 m, although the suspension might have a effect on him though. This is all business and we can't deny that Conor had crossed the line during their pre-fight hype but at the end of the day, you should act professionally. But Khabib wasn't able to forgive Conor and the rest of the team so a fine and a suspension is warranted.
It is not about warranting a suspension, Conor McGregor talked a lot of shit leading up to the fight about his religion about his country and he took things personal talking about Khabib's dad and if you find someone reacting to that inside or outside the cage after instigating this much, how can anyone be surprised by his behavior, the fine and suspension was not fair in my opinion as Conor got a much lesser fine if you compare to his pre fight tactics, even if they rematch ten times i do not see how Connor could beat Khabib inside the cage.

$500K is too small considering the danger of that stunt that he did after the match. Imagine if it created a rumble inside venue and caused stampede, people will be injured and there will be damage to property. This will also set a precedent to those who always jumps out to octagon after winning the fight so that they will not do it again. Conor received $50K fined only. Or is this fair since Khabib is the one who started all this issue?
If it is proven that Conor did not take part of this rumble then it is not fair for him to be fined with $50K since he just defended himself when Khabib and his team started the fight.
I will likely have the unpopular opinion but I think they should have been equal. Connor was a cock for the months leading to the fight. And I think it showed that he is just a marketing tool and not a fighter. Duh he is one of the best in the world, but is not a top contender. If they end up in rematch I will not be watching it.
Connor is a good money fight because he brings in a lot of fake UFC fans. You can tell all the fake fans by the way they joined his side during the after cage fight. Most of the people commenting on it have never even been in a fight so they don't understand it.
If I was a fighter in the UFC and Conner was talking shit about my family and doing all that interview shit I would fight his team outside of the cage too. Its not good and they should both be suspended but I think giving Connor another slap on the wrist is bad for the game.
Also the suspension I think is good for both fighters. You hate to see people unable to speak after fighting for so long. Connor is getting there, so this break will be good for his health and hopefully he only fights once a year going forward. You hate to see bad things happen to fighters from taking so much damage like Nate Diaz.
