Conor McGregor being sued by alleged victim over phone smashing incident

UFC superstar Conor McGregor is facing a civil lawsuit in South Florida after allegedly smashing a man’s phone earlier this week.

The incident took place when the man tried to take a picture with McGregor outside the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel after he was celebrating his mother’s 60th birthday. McGregor has since left jail after being hit with a $12,500 bond for one count of strong-arm robbery and one count of criminal mischief.

The victim in the case, 22-year old Ahmed Abdirzak from England, filed a lawsuit in which he seeks upwards of $15,000, accusing McGregor of battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
