They may revisit this situation again in the future but that's the latest stemming from this morning's hearing.

Babalu himself attended the hearing and gave the commission this quote... credit MMAWeekly

“When he tapped, I didn’t feel it. I then looked to the referee, and he shook my shoulder, and then I let him go. I didn’t understand why this whole thing
happened. I’m kind of surprised that it happened, the crowd booing me and stuff like that. I don’t know, maybe it was from the blood. I don’t know. I would
like to say sorry to David Heath and the UFC for bringing trouble to my sport that I love a lot. There’s one thing that I know how to do in my life is
be a professional fighter. I don’t have like a regular job.”

That's quite a different story from, I did it to teach him a lesson. Seems to me that Babalu is the one who had to learn a lesson, and hopefully he has, is or will.
