Morning Report: Fan that Conor McGregor allegedly stole phone from tells his side of what happened

On Monday, Conor McGregor was arrested in Miami, Fla. on charges of strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief. Per the arrest affidavit, McGregor and the alleged victim, Ahmed Abdirzak of England, were both exiting the Fountainebleu Hotel (home of the world-famous nightclub, Liv) at around 5:20 a.m. Monday when Abdirzak attempted to take a photo of McGregor with his phone. McGregor allegedly slapped the phone out of Abdirzak’s hand to the floor, then stomped on it several times, before picking the phone up and walking off with it, and according to Abdirzak, that’s exactly what happened.

Speaking recently with TMZ Sports, Abdirzak gave his side of the Liv altercation, saying that he was on vacation in Miami when he spotted McGregor at the club and attempted to take a picture of him.
