Breaking Down Conor McGregor’s Latest Round of Legal Troubles and the Potential Consequences

UFC star Conor McGregor, who last year pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in New York, faces a new round of legal troubles that could complicate his ability to fight in the United States.

On Monday, Miami police arrested the 30-year-old Irish fighter after he allegedly smashed and dispossessed the phone of Ahmed Abdirzak, a 22-year-old man. McGregor was charged with two felonies, strong arm robbery and criminal mischief. Abdirzak, who is a resident of London and was visiting Miami on vacation, has sued McGregor in Miami–Dade County Court for battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
