UFC star Conor McGregor has huge fine reduced by Nevada Athletic Commission

Nevada athletic officials have significantly reduced the fine imposed on UFC star Conor McGregor following a profanity-laced, pre-fight news conference last August.
The Nevada Athletic Commission approved an agreement with McGregor that settled the disciplinary action with a $US25,000 fine, 25 hours of community service and the state's legal costs.
The penalty stems from an press conference before a highly-anticipated rematch between McGregor and Nate Diaz.

McGregor and Diaz and members of their groups yelled at each other and eventually began hurling water bottles at one other.
The commission had previously set a $US150,000 fine, half of which was meant to go toward an anti-bullying public service announcement.
