Conor McGregor Gets Reduced Punishment for Bottle-Throwing Melee at UFC 202 Presser

The Nevada Athletic Commission may have mended its rocky relationship with Conor McGregor.

The NAC on Wednesday reached a settlement with the UFC lightweight champion, fining him $25,000 and sentencing him to 25 hours of community service for his role in a water bottle throwing incident at a UFC 202 pre-fight press conference last year.

McGregor was initially fined $75,000 and ordered to produce an anti-bullying public service announcement -- with a production value at a minimum of $75,000 -- by the NAC for his part in the melee with UFC 202 opponent Nate Diaz on Aug.
