Conor McGregor re-hearing set for Wednesday's NSAC meeting in Las Vegas

As expected, Conor McGregor will be on the agenda for the next Nevada State Athletic Commission meeting.

In February, McGregor and NSAC chair Anthony Marnell had a “a very cordial and productive meeting,” the aftermath of which was NSAC Executive Director Bob Bennett recommending a re-hearing on McGregor’s news conference scuffle with Nate Diaz prior to their rematch this past August.

The meeting is set for Wednesday in Las Vegas.

McGregor is attempting to clear the slate with the commission, which fined him $75,000 for throwing water bottles at Diaz and his teammates during a UFC 202 press conference and ordered him to fork over an additional $75,000 to fund an NSAC-branded public service announcement against bullying.

McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) was dressed down by the commission for his attitude, and at one point contemplated a $300,000 fine before settling at half that amount. The Irish lightweight champion eventually told the commission, “good luck trying to get it.” He then signaled his intention to take the commission to court, petitioning the Clark County (Nev.) civil court for a legal review of his case.

But his approach seemed to shift in light of a potentially lucrative boxing match against retired champ Floyd Mayweather. He received a boxing license in California and said he would pursue one with the NSAC, which in turn said he could do so when he cleared up his pending legal review.
