Sources: 8. Developments: 2. The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) has initiated disciplinary hearings regarding post-fight celebrations at UFC 329. Fighters Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, and Gable Steveson are under investigation for allegedly violating regulations that prohibit leaving or climbing the cage during victory celebrations. Potential penalties for the athletes include fines or the withholding of fight purses. Paddy Pimblett has already had his purse withheld pending the investigation. The commission’s enforcement of these rules, which have been strictly applied since 2018, has drawn criticism from fighters and analysts. Pimblett’s manager, Graham Boylan, argued the regulation “does nothing to support” the sport and called for “common sense.” Similarly, Daniel Cormier described the policy as “the most ridiculous rule in mixed martial arts,” while Michael Bisping labeled it “nonsense.” ## Timeline ### 2026-08-25: Nevada Athletic Commission investigates UFC 329 fighters over cage celebration rules UFC fighters Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, and Gable Steveson face potential fines or withheld purses from the Nevada State Athletic Commission for violating cage celebration rules at UFC 329. 7 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nevada-athletic-commission-investigates-ufc-329-fighters-over-cage-celebration-rules ### 2026-08-21: Nevada Commission holds hearings for Holloway, Pimblett, and Steveson Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, and Gable Steveson face Nevada State Athletic Commission hearings over potential fines or purse withholdings following post-fight celebrations at UFC 329. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nevada-commission-holds-hearings-for-holloway-pimblett-and-steveson --- Cite as: Nevada Athletic Commission UFC 329 disciplinary hearings.
