The Nevada Athletic Commission plans to discuss fining UFC fighters Arman Tsarukyan and Diego Lopes for separate incidents at UFC 300, involving punching a fan and climbing out of the cage, respectively.

By the Numbers
  • The meeting on April 30th will address incidents including Arman Tsarukyan's purse withhold for punching a fan and Diego Lopes' purse withhold for climbing out of the cage at UFC 300.
  • The NAC is also set to discuss punishment for Igor Severino's bite incident at UFC Fight Night: Ribas vs. Namajunas.
Yes, But

Diego Lopes' actions of climbing out of the cage were less severe compared to other incidents, but all three fighters may face financial penalties.

State of Play
  • The NAC meeting on April 30th will focus on potential fines for Tsarukyan, Lopes, and Severino.
  • Lopes expressed surprise at the news and his management is in talks with the NAC and UFC to address the situation.
Bottom Line

The Nevada Athletic Commission is set to discuss punishing UFC fighters financially for misconduct at recent events, raising questions about the balance between suspensions and financial penalties in disciplinary actions.
