The latest on Conor McGregor is that he’s at odds with the UFC over his contract and that he’s facing potential criminal charges, which is to say, there is nothing really new with him at all. This is what McGregor’s life has turned into over the last few years, since he went from collecting government welfare to making a small fortune in the blink of an eye.
It’s been a wild, sometimes thrilling, sometimes disturbing sequence of events since then, culminating in a Monday that began with a cheeky tweet and ended with a sobering hammer of news that places McGregor in the midst of an active sexual assault police investigation.
