The Abu Dhabi Criminal Court has sentenced eight people to six months in prison in connection with a hotel brawl involving mixed martial arts fighters Usman Nurmagomedov and Merab Dvalishvili.

Axar.az reports, citing The National, that six defendants were also fined AED 300,000 each and ordered to be deported after serving their sentences for disturbing public security, causing panic, and endangering lives.

Two others received the same prison terms and fines for filming and publishing footage of the incident in violation of privacy laws. Their phones were also confiscated, and the footage was ordered to be deleted.

Two additional defendants were fined AED 50,000 each for disturbing public security and assaulting others.

The altercation took place on Wednesday at a hotel on Abu Dhabi's Yas Island while Dvalishvili was giving an interview ahead of the RAF Abu Dhabi event. A total of 10 people were convicted in the case.
