Conor McGregor got cracked with a hefty fine on Monday for his part in the UFC 202 press conference melee that unfolded in August ahead of his rematch with Nate Diaz.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission held a meeting to determine the punishment for McGregor after the altercation that unfolded inside the MGM Grand in Las Vegas a couple of months ago.
The proceedings lasted for well over an hour with argument presented by the Nevada Attorney General's office as well as counsel for McGregor as represented by an attorney from his management team at Paridigm Sports Management.
In the end, McGregor was fined five-percent of his $3 million purse for the fight with Diaz, which equalled out to $150,000, as well as 50 hours of community service. McGregor has six months to complete the community service imposed upon him by the commission.
McGregor was on the phone from Ireland as he prepares for his upcoming showdown with lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 in New York.
