The NSAC also issued Conor with 50 hours community service and has to take part in an anti-bullying campaign as reported by MMA Fighting.
“I was very, very upset at the incident. It was a high stakes fight, my emotions got the better of me. All I can say is I’m sorry,” the Crumlin native said at the Commission.
“When I saw the bottles coming at my team, I picked up bottles and threw it back at their team. That’s it.
“This fight had everything on the line for me. This was the highest stakes fights I’ve ever been in. I was acting very erratically.”
