On Monday, the Nevada State Athletic Commission ruled a stiff penalty on Conor McGregor<\/a> for his involvement in the water bottle fiasco<\/a> at the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference at the MGM Grand. The incident involved Team McGregor and Team Nate Diaz in an object-throwing war with press getting caught in the middle of it all.<\/p>\n

“The Notorious” was fined five percent of his disclosed salary for the main event fight against Nate Diaz at UFC 202. Given that the brash Irishman earned a UFC record-setting disclosed pay of $3 million dollars, the fine equated to a whopping $150,000. In addition to the six-figure fine, Mcgregor was also ordered to 50 hours of community service and will have to participate in an \u201canti-bullying campaign for the commission,” according to a report from MMA Fighting<\/a>.<\/p>\n

McGregor also made headlines on Monday after a report surfaced from MMA insider @TalkMMA<\/a> that the UFC featherweight champion was allegedly knocked out during a recent training session<\/a> with a possibly broken nose. “The Notorious” took to twitter to address his fine but has yet to comment on the report of his training incident and health.<\/p>\n

McGregor tweeted on Monday following the NSAC hearing, “I get fined more than these bums get paid.”<\/em><\/p>\n
