The Nevada Athletic Commission may have thought they showed Conor McGregor (pictured) who was boss when they slapped the UFC featherweight champion with a $150,000 fine and 50 hours of community service for August’s UFC 202 press conference bottle-throwing incident, but it appears the only thing McGregor will give the NAC is an unpaid invoice.
McGregor was obviously upset about the excessive fine, which was 5 percent of his $3 million purse for UFC 202. UFC president Dana White came to his cash cow’s defense by stating it was downright “ridiculous.”
McGregor now wants to stick it to the NAC in two ways: he no longer wants to perform in Las Vegas and allow the NAC to bank off his star power, and he wishes the commission the best of luck in trying to collect a penny of their $150K fine.
