Mixed martial artist and professional boxer Conor McGregor is being sued for throwing more than a punch.

According to news reports, William Pegg has filed a lawsuit against McGregor and McGregor Sports and Entertainment after allegedly being hit by a flying can of Monster energy drink at a UFC press conference between McGregor and Nate Diaz that ended with McGregor and Diaz throwing cups, bottles, cans and various other items at one another. The Nevada State Athletic Commission fined McGregor $25,000 for his role in the incident and ordered him to do 25 hours of community service. Now audience member Pegg wants his share.

Court records indicate Pegg suffered injuries for which he sought medical attention, with the bills totaling about $5,000. Yet, Pegg is suing McGregor for $95,000. Interestingly, his claim is based on creative math. The lawsuit notes that in the fight between McGregor and Diaz that McGregor was paid $15 million, and was hit 166 times, meaning roughly $90,000 per blow. Pegg claims that since he took one hit from the can of Monster drink thrown by McGregor he should get $90,000, plus another $5,000 for his medical bills.

McGregor has denied any wrongdoing. The lawsuit continues. Round two.
