    Some people are saying it was Khabibs fans recording him and shouting obscenities whilst he was walking with his family. Conor asked them to please refrain and they persisted.

    It is a big deal. As he is a worldwide (?) superstar of MMA.
    It would be like Ronaldo getting arrested …

    What was Ronaldo arrested for this time? Dodging tax or rape?

    The "fan" showed Connor WhatsApp messages that had allegations that Connor was involved in serious crime in Ireland and called him names.
    Connor flipped took his phone off him and smashed it.

    Don't know why he got annoyed, sure everyone knows about that because they are allowed to talk about it outside Ireland.

    The fact he actually stole the phone as well, after smashing it, would lead me to believe there was photos taken of something, or someone, he did not want photos taken of.

    Yeah, himself!

    Nice of him to walk his family out of a nightclub at 5am.

    Quite a jump from a calm "please refrain" to grabbing a phone and smashing it. Is Conor a "please refrain" kind of guy?

    I know his uncle. Apparently he's offered that girl €250k "but she won't go away". I wouldn't "go away" for that money either, knowing what he's worth and the severity of what he is accused of.

    Come on Wheelie, where did it say that? Was it in self-defense then?
    That would be a bit of a stretch ............. excuse the pun.

    My point is there is much more important news than this.

    It’s really not a big deal.
    My point is that it should be a big deal. McGregor slapped the phone out of the man's hand, then he stomped on it, and then he stole it. It was a $1,000 phone.

    The problem is that these types of incidences are treated as non-events in Ireland. In the US, it is treated as a strong arm robbery.
    I only wish that our prosecution services would do likewise in Ireland for similar crimes. It would lead to a better quality of life for all of us and it may deter scumbags from acting like scumbags.

    I know his uncle. People I'm friendly with are friendly with him. Both of those things are true. I'm not personally friendly with him. That's the distinction I was making - I know his name, he knows mine, we say hello to each other. But I only know what he said above because of the people I know who are actually friendly with him.

    Why is this so hard for you to believe?

    Strong-armed robbery for slapping a phone out of someone's hand?
    Word inflation galore.
    Like when people call it "assault" to even just touch someone.


    EDIT, ok so he left with it - that makes it robbery
    The fighter was leaving the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel after 5 a.m. on Monday when someone tried to take a photo of him with a cell phone, according to police. McGregor reacted by destroying the phone, then picking it up and walking away with it.

    Actually Ronaldo did throw a reporters microphone into a lake during the Euros a few year back. Not quite the same as smashing someones phone but people have breaking points.

    Haha he won’t be going to jail, there will be nothing different to if it happened here.

    Seen the pics of his family on social media of their trip to the Versace mansion all decked out in their Versace clothes.

    I don't think I have seen anything as tacky in my whole life. You really can't buy class.

    Used to have respect for him with the hard work and dedication he put in to get to the top of his profession.

    He is nothing more than the main clown in the circus sideshow.

    Some celebrities try to keep a low profile. McGregor speeds around the place in a bright orange Lambourghini and then gets upset if people take a photo.

    Surely a smart person like yourself knows you don't even have to touch someone to be convicted of assault in Ireland.

    I wonder will he be dealt with differently seeing as he is a professional fighter who assaulted and ordinary person who probably has no martial arts training.
