Conor McGregor accepts plea deal for Brooklyn melee, gets five days community service

In April, McGregor and his friends stormed the event at the Barclays Center looking for Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was on a bus about to leave the venue.

Upon arrival, the mob discovered that the new UFC lightweight champion was in the vehicle and began attacking it, with .

McGregor was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief for his antics, which left Ray Borg and Michael Chiesa with facial and eye injuries respectively.

‘The Notorious’ returned to the Kings County Criminal Court in Brooklyn earlier this morning to learn his fate for his latest misdemeanour.

The Irishman had all felony counts dismissed but was found guilty of disorderly conduct.

On top of that, he’ll have to take part in five days of community service, as well as anger management classes. Three protection orders have also been issued.

McGregor’s accomplice, Cian Cowley, has been ordered to do 3 days of community service and take part in the anger management program.

Moments after news of McGregor’s punishment was announced, the Brooklyn District Attorney said: “This is a fair resolution that holds the defendant accountable, ensures restitution for the victims and requires the defendant to perform community service where he can reflect on his conduct and give back to society.”

McGregor, 30, hasn’t set foot inside the Octagon since , a card where he became the promotion’s first simultaneous two-weight world champion with a second-round TKO victory over Eddie Alvarez.

He was relieved of the 155lbs crown in April due to inactivity, paving the way for Nurmagomedov to claim it in the main event of UFC 223.

Nurmagomedov is expected to be the man to welcome McGregor back to the Octagon, but a date for their grudge match hasn’t been set.
