Former lightweight and featherweight champion, Conor McGregor, is accused of assault in Dublin pub according to reports from Irish media.

It seems that the former two-division UFC champion, Conor McGregor, is in hot water yet again … allegedly. This time McGregor is accused of assaulting a man in a Dublin, Ireland pub according to a report from The Mirror.

The alleged event occurred on Saturday after the unidentified male victim says that McGregor punched him after a verbal exchange in the city of Drimnagh, a suburb of Dublin. Gardai, the state police force of the Irish Republic, has confirmed that they are investigating an alleged assault which took place at the Marble Arch pub.

Various sources have confirmed that the man in question was thought to be McGregor, the most recognizable sports figure in Irish modern history. Some reports say that McGregor was showing off. Another source says they heard someone tell McGregor “The Russian battered you” which is, of course, a jab at McGregor’s most recent defeat at the hands of UFC lightweight champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov.

This is another mark on the already blemished rap sheet of McGregor. Just this year alone McGregor was accused of sexual assault and arrested for smashing a fans cell phone in Miami, FL. Last year he was in hot water over his involvement in a UFC 229 post-fight brawl and the year prior McGregor was arrested for throwing a dolly through a bus window, injuring multiple people and single-handly destroying a UFC fight card. He’s also had various driving violations in Ireland, his home country.

McGregor is currently serving a suspension for the UFC 229 post-fight brawl.
