Conor McGregor Pleads Guilty for Involvement in Brooklyn Bus Attack

Conor McGregor pleads guilty.

Well it’s official, Conor McGregor should change his last nickname to “Mr. Untouchable” as he’s been given a relative slap on the wrist for his involvement in the now infamous bus attack which took place back in the April in Brooklyn, New York.


The attack which saw the former UFC lightweight champion attempt to assault current champ Khabib Nurmagomedov due to a personal slight to the Irishman’s training partner. Conor McGregor and his entourage stormed the Barclays Center hoping to confront Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team. What ensued was McGregor and his entourage attacking a bus containing several fighters and their retinues, one of those fighters being Khabib. Things quickly took a serious turn as Conor McGregor himself launched a dolly through the window of the bus resulting in multiple injuries and fight cancellations.

Subsequently, McGregor turned himself into the NYPD and has since made a handful of court appearances before coming to an agreement. Conor McGregor pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct and has been sentenced to five days community service as well as anger management. He won’t receive any jail time and his criminal record will remain clean.

It seems that the scenario has completely worked out for not only Conor McGregor, but the UFC as well. Now they have the opportunity to bring one of their biggest cash cows back into the fold and potentially make a fight on a scale they couldn’t have possibly dreamed of before. Now that the sentence has been handed down, a bout between Khabib Nurmagomedov and Conor McGregor will be an easy sell, one that will no doubt generate an insane amount of revenue for the UFC.
