Conor McGregor's legal team trying to strike plea bargain to avoid jail-time

UFC fighter Conor McGregor's legal team is set to strike a plea bargain with New York prosecutors to make sure he avoids jail.

He was charged with assault and criminal mischief after throwing a metal trolley at a bus carrying UFC fighters in April.

TMZ.com says McGregor's team want prosecutors to reduce his charge of felony misdemeanor to just a misdemeanor.

This would allow the fighter to avoid a possible jail term and deportation.
