The Russian began a brawl by the octagon after beating McGregor at UFC 229 in Las Vegas in October.
McGregor was then involved in a bust-up with his opponent's team.
Nurmagomedov has been suspended nine months and fined 732 thousand dollars while the Irishman was suspended for six months and fined 73 thousand dollars
Both suspensions have been backdated to the date of the Las Vegas fight.
Nurmagomedov's suspension could be reduced to six months if he participates in an anti-bullying campaign in Nevada.
If it is, it is not expected he will return to action until after 5 June because the practising Muslim will honour Ramadan.
Two of Nurmagomedov's team have also been handed suspensions by the Nevada Athletic Commission.
Seconds after landing a fourth-round submission, Khabib Nurmagomedov vaulted the cage and headed towards McGregor's team, prompting a melee.
Meanwhile, McGregor was involved in a bust-up in the octagon with members of Nurmagomedov's team.
Three of Nurmagomedov's party were arrested but later released.
