Former two-division UFC champion and mixed martial arts fighter, has been handed a five-month suspended sentence as well as a two-year disqualification from driving – after pleading guilty to a charge of dangerous driving, as well as a further count of careless driving in Dublin this morning.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight champion and featherweight gold holder under the banner of the UFC, has been out of competition since 2021, most recently fracturing his left tibia and fibula in an opening round doctor’s stoppage TKO loss to former interim champion, Dustin Poirier.
And expected to make his return to fighting last month in the main event of UFC 303 during International Fight Week, McGregor was forced from a welterweight fight against Michael Chandler, after fracturing a toe on his left foot.
