The Nevada Athletic Commission showed leniency toward Conor McGregor last month. On Wednesday, they did the same for Nate Diaz.
The NAC approved a reduced punishment for Diaz for his part in a water bottle-throwing melee at a pre-fight press conference to promote UFC 202 last August. Instead of a $50,000 fine and 50 hours of community service, Diaz will receive a $15,000 fine and 15 hours of community service. The new punishment was unanimous approved during a Wednesday hearing.
Diaz already paid the previous fine, so he will likely have a refund forthcoming.
