Video footage of the incident in April was played in the hearing. McGregor accepted his actions were "very wrong", telling the judge: "I assure you nothing of this nature will happen again." The 31-year-old McGregor hasn't fought in MMA since losing by submission to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018. He was banned for six months and fined $50,000 for his part in a post-fight brawl.
