Conor McGregor has been punished for his role in the fracas with Nate Diaz and his entourage in the UFC 202 pre-fight press conference in August.
Water bottles and cans of energy drink were hurled back and forth across the crowd as Diaz left the stage.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission have fined McGregor $150,000 for his part in the disturbance and ordered he complete 50 hours of community service.
Diaz’s case will be heard in December.
That's a fair whack https://t.co/SBNs75yzs9

McGregor won’t like being out of pocket for throwing a couple of water bottles, but he also wasn’t going to miss a chance to land a dig on his UFC rivals.
The Irish fighter reacted to the fine by mocking the meagre money they earn in comparison to him.
I get fined more than these bums get paid
