Conor McGregor enters not guilty plea in cellphone smash case, new video emerges

The former UFC two-division champion formally pleaded not guilty via his legal team Wednesday in Miami-Dade County criminal court, according to the Independent. McGregor is being charged with felony robbery (sudden snatch) and misdemeanor criminal mischief after being accused of throwing a man’s cellphone the floor and stomping on it last month outside a trendy Miami Beach hotel.

McGregor, 30, originally wrote a written plea of not guilty March 12, a day after he was arrested. He was not present in court Wednesday. Per online court records, McGregor or his attorneys have a scheduled court appearance April 30 and then a scheduled trial hearing May 13.
