Conor McGregor challenging Nevada commission sanctions in court

Conor McGregor isn't going to willfully accept his recent sanctions from the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC).

The UFC lightweight champion has filed a notice for judicial review with Clark County civil court, MMA Fighting confirmed with NAC executive director Bob Bennett and via court records. MMAjunkie reported the news Wednesday.

The commission disciplined McGregor in October to the tune of a $75,000 fine (2.5 percent of his purse), 50 hours community service, and a public-service announcement (estimated at another $75,000) for throwing water bottles and an energy drink can during the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference in August.
