The Nevada Athletic Commission received a nice chunk of change by fining Conor McGregor earlier this week, but it may have cost the state much more in future UFC gates.
McGregor was fined $150,000 and sentenced to 50 hours of community service for his part in a bottle-throwing incident at a UFC 202 pre-fight press conference in Las Vegas. The penalty -- five percent of McGregor’s $3 million purse for his bout against Nate Diaz -- is expected to be distributed evenly toward the state’s general fund and a public service announcement campaign that centers on anti-bullying.
