Conor McGregor Avoids Jail Time By Taking Plea Deal for Bus Attack
Conor McGregor won't serve jail time for the violent bus attack he staged at New York City's Barclay Center on April 5.
As part of a plea deal arranged with the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office, the MMA fighter - who only kind of, sort of apologized for his actions - pled guilty to just one violation of disorderly conduct, ESPN reports. He'd been facing 12 possible criminal charges before striking a plea deal, including two counts of felony criminal mischief.
Besides not serving any jail time, here's what is - and isn't - going to happen to McGregor, according to ESPN:
His travel visa will stay intact
He won't have a criminal record
Full restitution to the bus company affected by the attack - a condition McGregor has already met
Five days of community service
One to three days of anger management classes
That's all, folks!
In case you need a refresher, McGregor crashed the UFC 223 Media Day and threw a hand dolly through the window of a bus carrying a group of fighters.
Michael Chiesa, who sustained multiple cuts to his head during the attack - and whose upcoming bout was cancelled as a result - recently called out McGregor for screwing him out of a shot at glory.
"He fucked me out of a title shot - I'll tell you that much," Chiesa said in an interview shared on YouTube.
"I don't really have too many kind things to say to [McGregor]," he added. "You work your whole life for those kinds of opportunities."
