Conor McGregor appeared in court in New York City today for charges relating to the April bus brawl at the Barclays Centre in Brooklyn.
The fight saw McGregor and his entourage attack a bus leaving the arena with several UFC fighters aboard.
Today, McGregor was cleared of all serious felony charges as part of a plea deal in which he had to plead guilty to a lesser disorderly conduct charge.
Disorderly conduct is considered a violation in the state of New York, meaning McGregor has escaped a criminal record.
He'll have to complete five days of community service and an anger management programme. He also has to pay for the damage to the bus.
