NAC Cuts Conor McGregor’s Bottle-Throwing Fine To $25,000

McGregor’s community service was also slashed to 25 hours, which must be completed within six months.

In October, the NAC initially docked McGregor $150,000 (5 percent of his $3 million purse for FUC 202) and tacked on 50 hours of community service for McGregor’s part in August 17’s UFC 202 pre-fight press conference melee where he and Nate Diaz flung bottled water and canned drinks at each other from across the venue.

McGregor, the UFC’s biggest cash cow, was irate over the hefty penalty after issuing a sincere apology for his actions. He threatened to boycott fighting in Las Vegas because of the excessive fine.
