Conor McGregor Gets Light Sentence for UFC Bus Attack
Conor McGregor has managed to dodge jail time after being arrested for disorderly conduct in April this year. The mixed martial arts fighter was captured on video earlier this year attacking a bus full of UFC staff and fighters. Connor McGregor and his entourage were seen hurling objects in the bus. Two fighters were injured and had to miss their scheduled fights at UFC223.
The notoriously rowdy MMA fighter has been given what most describe as a “slap on the wrist” sentence. The judge handed a light 5-day community service sentence, three days of anger management and recompense for the damaged property. He will not get a criminal record neither is he banned from any upcoming fights nor will he face travel or visa restrictions. Conor McGregor also has protection orders against him, he is not allowed near the two fighters injured during the April incident.
