Nate Diaz Fined, Conor McGregor Banned for Refusing to Pay for Bottle-Throwing Incident at UFC 202
It was fight night at the UFC 202 between welterweights Nate Diaz and Conor McGregor at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, the fight between the two athletes actually happened before they even stepped into the Octagon. Diaz and his team began to throw water bottles at McGregor which sparked an all-out water bottle fight.
Bloody Elbow reported that the two were both fined for the August 12 incident with Diaz to pay $50,000 and to engage in 50 hours community service. Meanwhile, Conor McGregor was told to pay $75,000, participate in a public service announcement and 50 hours community service. Diaz was reported to have reached a settlement with the NAC but until the fine is paid, he won't be allowed to fight in Las Vegas.
