McGregor given community service

-

Nevada: Conor McGregor has been given 50 hours of community service and fined $US150,000 (£121,000) following a confrontat­ion with Nate Diaz in a press conference. The Nevada Athletic Commission investigat­ed McGregor, 28, and Diaz, 31, after they threw bottles at each other before their Ultimate Fighting Championsh­ip rematch in August. The Irishman went on to win the UFC 202 fight on points. That followed American Diaz’s victory over McGregor at UFC 196 in March. McGregor tweeted: “I get fined more than these bums get paid”. Diaz’s case will be heard at a later date.
