McGregor faces community service after plea deal
Conor McGregor will have to carry out five days of community service after an incident at UFC 223 in April.
MMA star Conor McGregor will not serve jail time after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct in Brooklyn on Thursday.
McGregor was facing the court after he was arrested and released for an incident at UFC 223 in April when he and several team-mates stormed the Barclays Center.
Video footage showed the group throwing large objects at a bus as they sought out UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor was facing a possible 12 criminal charges related to the incident, but a plea deal will instead see the Irishman serve five days of community service as well as anger management classes.
"I'm thankful to the DA [district attorney] and the judge for allowing me to move forward," McGregor said following his court appearance.
"I want to say to my friends, to my family, to my fans: thank you for supporting me."
The incident occurred shortly after UFC president Dana White stripped McGregor of his lightweight title, the fighter having been away from the sport since 2016.
