The incredibly talented MMA fighter Conor McGregor has won almost every fight that he took part in but even though immensely talent, he is mostly known for his smart mouth, cruel personality and arrogant behavior.

The fighter has been in news for his ill-mannered behavior in front of the press and towards his peers or colleagues. The humorous wrestler has definitely made headlines this time as he has filed a case against the Nevada State Athletic Commission who has charged him with penalty due to his behaviour in UFC 202 altercation with Nate Diaz, his opponent. The MMA champion is angry about the penalty and hopes that the court in Nevada declares some judgement in his favour.

The Nevada State Athletic Commission had fined MMA fighter Conor McGregor for an obscene behaviour during his pre-UFC match. The fine that was charged amounted to a whopping 150,000 - including $75,000 in funds and public service announcement that would cost another $75,000. During the press conference, McGregor had thrown bottles and cans at opponent Diaz in MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

The MMA fighter McGregor had filed a petition for judicial review in Clark County, Nevada back on November 18. According to Foxsports, McGregor took responsibility for his behaviour in the hearing and also apologized for his actions. Although the commission heard his part and levied it in the final decision, they charged the UFC champion 5 percent of his total earnings along with 50-hours of community service.

Other names given to the Champion are The Notorious and Mystic Mac due to his lively yet insulting comments and smart witted behaviour and responses. In this case, the qualities that made him famous have not been in his favour, as he now has to suffer a fine of a large amount. This has caused the MMA and now the UFC fighter to fade out a little, due to his concentration in the court.

Based on information from Winter is coming.com ,the fighter is rumoured to star in the famous TV show of the book adaptation of "Game of Thrones". The fighter has received many honours and good opportunities have been on a roll for him as he has witnessed unlimited success and has also secured two massive title belts in the tournaments.
