Conor McGregor, the former featherweight and lightweight Ultimate Fighting Champion, is in trouble with the law once again after the Irishman was arrested in Miami, Florida and charged with strong-armed robbery and misdemeanour criminal mischief (BBC).
He’s been arrested for allegedly damaging a fan’s $1000 phone, which is said to have took place at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel at 5:20 local time.
The BBC has obtained the police report explaining why McGregor has found himself behind bars once again;
“The victim attempted to take a picture of the defendant with his cell phone. The defendant slapped the victim’s phone out of his hand, causing it to fall to the floor”
“The defendant then stomped on the victim’s phone several times, damaging it. The defendant then picked up the victim’s phone and walked away with it, depriving him of it. The defendant was located and arrested.”
McGregor’s last professional fight came all the way back at the beginning of October, when he was defeated by Khabib Nurmagomedov via submission.
It comes just days after McGregor completing his probation after his attack on a bus at UFC 223.
He is currently in Florida preparing to make his comeback following his defeat to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October last year.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended McGregor for six months after he was involved in a post-fight brawl.
