Conor McGregor has been fined 5% of his fight purse for UFC 202 and sentenced to 50 hours community service for his role in the bottle throwing press conference with Nate Diaz.

The opponents at UFC's August pay-per-view became involved in a violent, foul mouthed altercation in which several bottles were hurled across the press room, after Diaz walked out of the conference on the advice of his older brother, Nick, flipping the Irishman off in the process.

As of the time of writing, no punishment has yet been meted out to Diaz for his role in the incident.
