Conor McGregor has pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct over his New York melee in April in order to avoid a prison sentence.
The Irish mixed-martial arts (MMA) sensation appeared at a Brooklyn criminal court on Thursday after being charged with multiple counts of assault and criminal mischief following his attack on a bus full of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) competitors at the Barclays Centre on April 5.
In a brief court appearance on Thursday, the 30-year-old pleaded guilty to the smaller charge of disorderly conduct following which he was handed a punishment of five days worth community service.
As part of the guilty plea, McGregor will also be required to undergo anger management treatment. The Irishman had been facing 12 criminal charges in total prior to his guilty plea and he will now avoid any jail time.
