Conor McGregor Says He Never Wants to Fight in Nevada Again After $150K Fine

UFC star Conor McGregor doesn't want to head into the state of Nevada any time soon after being fined for an incident during a news conference leading up to his UFC 202 bout against Nate Diaz.

During an interview on Wednesday with Fox Sports Radio's Colin Cowherd (The Herd), UFC President Dana White claimed that McGregor contacted him stating, "I don’t ever want to fight in Nevada again, ever" after the featherweight champion was fined $150,000 for throwing water bottles at Diaz (h/t Damon Martin of Fox Sports). 

The fine stemmed from a pre-fight press conference in which Diaz stormed off early. Words were exchanged between the two parties before bottles began flying (warning: NSFW language):

McGregor won the rematch against Diaz, but he received a blow from the Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) on Monday when he was fined five percent of the $3 million UFC 202 purse and was ordered to participate in 50 hours of community service, per ESPN.com's Brett Okamoto.

White spoke about McGregor's fine in an interview with TMZ, also: 

There has been no word of Diaz's punishment as of yet, but the NSAC's ruling hasn't sat well with McGregor:

"

I get fined more than these bums get paid

— Conor McGregor (@TheNotoriousMMA) October 10, 2016"

While he doesn't want to fight in the state, McGregor has performed well in Nevada, recording wins at UFC 178 and UFC 194 before August's triumph over Diaz. 

Luckily for him, his next bout will come against Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 in New York City.
