UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor received a $25,000 fine from the Nevada State Athletic Commission on Wednesday for his role in an altercation with opponent Nate Diaz during a UFC 202 press conference in August.

Damon Martin of Fox Sports reported the decision, which includes 25 hours of community service. Shaheen Al-Shatti of MMA Fighting confirmed the news. It's a reduced punishment after the NSAC originally fined him $150,000 with 50 hours of community service before allowing another hearing.
