UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor are set to no-show the December 10 meeting of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, according to reports.
Nurmagomedov and McGregor were called to appear in front of the commission to have their cases heard following the ugly scenes after their main event bout at UFC 229 in Las Vegas.
But MMA Fighting's Marc Raimondi has reported that McGregor will not be present at the December 10 meeting after the Irishman's legal team was granted a continuance.
McGregor's absence means the hearing of his case on December 10 is unconfirmed, but what is clear is he will be unable to fight until the situation has been resolved.
In addition, Nurmagomedov is thought to be unlikely to attend his hearing on the same day. A continuance or a settlement agreement may be reached, which would mean the UFC lightweight champion would not be required to attend, RT reported.
The commission is currently withholding $1million of Nurmagomedov's $2million fight purse as a result of his part in the incident.
