But the Nevada State Athletic Commission’s executive director said today’s settlement agreement with McGregor has nothing to do with him getting one. “They’re completely two separate issues,” Bob Bennett said today after the commission unanimously approved the agreement , which drastically cuts a penalty McGregor (20-3 MMA, 8-1 UFC) received for his infamous melee with Nate Diaz (19-11 MMA, 14-9 UFC) at a press conference prior to UFC 202. “Those fights have to be approved,” Bennett added. “It wasn’t an issue that we were even looking at.” Prior to the settlement, McGregor’s desire to get a boxing license in Nevada was at odds with his disciplinary case with the NSAC.
