Former two-division champion Conor McGregor dodged a major bullet today when he agreed to a plea deal that will keep him out of jail – and free to travel for fights. With McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) receiving the legal equivalent of a slap on the wrist for a bus rampage caught on video, Twitter users naturally had a field day on the justice meted out to the rich and famous UFC star. Check below for the top Twitter reactions to McGregor’s plea deal, which requires five days of community service, one to three days of anger-management classes, and restitution to the bus company whose property got a hand-cart to the face. * * * * Outside the courthouse, this woman is asking if it’s a celebrity, and he responds “its a… boxer” Tragic proof of how far Mma hasn’t come pic.twitter.com/LsBYfQoKaD — Chris Rini (@RiniMMA) July 26, 2018 Here’s video of Conor McGregor arriving to the King County Supreme Criminal Courthouse moments ago pic.twitter.com/ND7T2dS6J3 — Ariel Helwani (@arielhelwani) July 26, 2018 McGregor’s personal tailor and business partner David August is here, as his manager Audie Attar.
