can a fighter who is suspended be booked to fight for a date that is post suspension? Like theoretically speaking, say khabib got a suspension that lasted until june 1st, could the ufc go ahead and book him to fight later in june or july?

If not, would an athletic commission investigate if they thought the ufc tried to do it on the low where a suspended fighter already had a verbal agreement to fight soon as his suspension was up so hes already training and getting ready they just dont announce it until the suspension is over?
 
Of course

Jones was suspended in 2016 for a year and fought DC nearly exactly a year later
Fight was obviously booked months in advance while Jones was still suspended
 
I'm going to give my uneducated opinion and say 100% yes they can.

thanks, yheah i looked that up. Jones was suspended until july 7th of 2017 and he was already booked in may of 2017 to fight within a few weeks of the suspension ending.
