Conor McGregor is free at last.

There has been a lot of people who have taken shots at former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor over his recent antics that put people in jeopardy.

It’s well known by now that McGregor and several members of his entourage decided it was a good idea to fly from Ireland to Brooklyn, New York, which is the site of the UFC 223 pay-per-view event on Thursday, April 5, 2018.

McGregor and his crew were let in by members of MacLife and they made their way down to where the buses were.

This is when everything went down as McGregor started throwing trash cans, chairs, barricades and other items at the buses. It was pure chaos, to say the least.

As a result of this incident, it led to three fights being pulled from the card as two fighters suffered injuries.

On Thursday, he agreed to a plea deal that will have a record of guilty of disorderly conduct charge, which will see him do five days of community service, anger management classes and have to pay restitution for the damage to the bus.

McGregor’s striking coach, Owen Roddy, recently spoke to MMA Fighting to talk about his fighter and future plans for him.

This is when he revealed that McGregor is eager to get back into the cage now and that a contest with UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov looks to be the plan before the end of the year.

“That’s what we all envisaged would happen, and it’s just great to be able to get back to doing what we love to do,” Roddy said.

“Conor has been eager to get back out there; he’s been eager to get something in front of him, to set a date and to push for fight. I think now that it’s out of the way, the potential for Conor to get back in there is very, very high.”

“Everything was put on hold because of this. We all had hoped that we would get the news that we got today, but of course, nothing could have been set in stone before the decision came through.

“Anything could have happened, so everything had to be put on hold until Conor got this sorted. I know we are all eager to see what’s coming next and I’m sure something’s going to lined up.”

“That seems about right,” Roddy said. “I’m sure it’s all going to be negotiated now. I would like to see that fight this year and I think the frontrunner to be Conor’s opponent for his return is Khabib.

“As I said before, he’s eager to get something going, he’s been training hard. He’s been doing all sorts of wrestling and jiu-jitsu — he’s just been enjoying his training. I’m sure he’s going to strike a deal with the UFC, and whenever he’s in there, we’ll be prepared.”
