TORONTO — The UFC 229 post-fight brawl involving the camps of Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov has cost featherweight Zubaira Tukhugov his bout at the upcoming UFC card in Moncton, N.B. Tukhugov had been set to meet Artem Lobov, who trains with McGregor, at the Oct. 27 card at the Avenir Centre. UFC president Dana White said after the brawl that those who jumped into the cage would never fight in the organization gain. Nurmagomedov subsequently threatened to quit the UFC if Tukhugov was suspended. Johnson (18-13) moved to the featherweight division earlier this year, earning a victory over Andre Fili in his most recent bout.
