Conor McGregor has been handed down a medical suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission following his defeat at the hands of Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 in Las Vegas on Oct. 6.

Nurmagomedov (27-0) beat McGregor (21-4) in the fourth round Saturday, clinching a submission victory via what UFC officials and commentators have alternatively identified as a rear-naked choke or a neck crank.
