Prosecutors have reduced two charges against former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor related to his alleged altercation with a fan outside a Miami Beach nightclub last month, according to court records.

McGregor had the degree of one felony charge lowered and the other converted to a misdemeanor, reducing his potential maximum sentence to six years. Police originally sought charges hours after the incident that would have carried a maximum of 20 years in prison.

“After reviewing the facts of the incident, the prosecutor realized that there wasn’t enough evidence to support the original felony charges,” former assistant U.S. Attorney David S. Weinstein told USA TODAY Sports.

Messages to McGregor’s attorney left by USA TODAY Sports were not immediately returned Friday.

McGregor allegedly slapped a phone out of a man’s hand after the fan attempted to take McGregor’s picture around 5 a.m. on March 11, according to police records. McGregor proceeded to step on the mobile phone several times before he walked away. Part of the incident was caught on video.

The value of the phone originally was set at $1,000, leading to a felony criminal mischief charge. That charge has become a misdemeanor since the listed value is now between $200 and $1,000, according to court records.

The one remaining felony McGregor faces is no longer for strong-armed robbery – a second-degree felony – as first charged. The listed charge now is for robbery by sudden snatching, a third-degree felony.

The hearing in the case is scheduled for April 10.

“Like his other arrest, his biggest problem is the effect that a conviction will have on his immigration status,” Weinstein said. “A conviction for this offense qualifies as an aggravated felony. It remains a privilege to enter the U.S. and not a right. So if there is a conviction, that will allow U.S. immigration authorities to prevent him from entering the U.S. on a visitor or work visa.”

McGregor was arrested in April 2018 and faced multiple charges over to his attack on a bus before UFC 223 in Brooklyn. McGregor agreed to a plea deal last July as prosecutors dropped the two felony charges, as well as other charges in the case.

Last month, the New York Times reported that McGregor is the subject of an alleged sexual assault investigation in his native Dublin.
