It was only a matter of time until video of the alleged phone smashing by Conor McGregor would come out, and that video has now been released by TMZ.
In a video published by TMZ on Thursday, McGregor is seen in the clip stomping on the phone he allegedly took from Ahmed Abdirzak late Sunday night. In the video, you can hear Abdirzak begging McGregor, saying “Let me get my phone, man.” While Abdirzak was pleading to McGregor, you can loudly hear and see the phone being stomped on by McGregor’s left foot.
According to the arrest report, McGregor and Abdirzak were outside the LIV Nightclub at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel very early in the morning. When Abdirzak tried to take a photograph of the UFC superstar, he claimed McGregor feigned a handshake and pulled in Abdirzak, while grabbing the phone.
For this incident, McGregor was arrested and charged with felony strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief. He has since been released on a $12,500 bond, and he will return to court for an arraignment on April 10.
