Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, and Gable Steveson fined for jumping outside the octagon at UFC 329

The Nevada State Athletic Commission has fined Max Holloway, Paddy Pimblett, and Gable Steveson for jumping outside the octagon after their wins at UFC 329. The fines are part of an effort to curb a trend of fighters climbing the cage and jumping out following victories. The Nevada State Athletic Commission has been cracking down on this behavior, with ESPN noting that the fines are intended to stop the trend.

The fines come after a series of high-profile incidents where fighters have jumped out of the octagon, drawing attention and criticism. Daniel Cormier, a former UFC champion and analyst, has criticized the fines, calling the practice of withholding purses 'ridiculous'. The fines are seen as a way to enforce safety regulations and maintain the integrity of the sport.

The reporting does not specify the amount of the fines or the exact reasons behind the decision to fine these particular fighters. The Nevada State Athletic Commission has not released a statement detailing the specifics of the fines or the process that led to this decision. The fighters have not publicly responded to the fines, and it is unclear whether they plan to appeal the decision.
