Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) will meet to discuss fining select athletes for punching a fan and climbing out of the cage, respectively, at UFC 300.

    I don’t like what the NSAC has been doing lately with fighter pay. The fighters should receive their purses and the state should have a trial/hearing to determine if the athletes should be fined.

      You’re completely right! Pay them their purse and fine them and withhold sanctioning their fights until it’s paid off.

      That Tsarukyan BS should see him suspended for 1 year though. I don’t care if a fan flips you off, or talks shit as you walkout. It’s part of the game. You, as the professional athlete, need to learn how to ignore. Sure, if the fan crosses the line it’s up to the venue to eject/ban/arrest the fan, but to get punched by a professional fighter, that fan should be getting PAID and Tsarukyan should be charged with assault
