Ultimate Fighting Championship star Conor
McGregor has been charged with six traffic offenses after his
latest incident this March.
According to
Dublin Live on Thursday, McGregor appeared in court in Dublin,
where he was charged with six driving-related offenses. On March
22, he was
stopped in his Bentley and arrested for alleged dangerous
driving, where he was handed two counts of this violation. Four
more came on Thursday, including driving without a license and
operating a motor vehicle without insurance. Per to his lawyer,
Michael Staines, the police have subsequently been shown his
license and proof of insurance.
Via
MMA Fighting, McGregor’s representative, Karen Kessler, stated
that McGregor was stopped on his way to his gym for “alleged road
traffic violations” and that he had passed his field sobriety
tests. McGregor has been released on bail, and he will be due to
appear in court in June. His lone statement to reporters was
simple: “Just straight back into training.”

These violations are far from McGregor’s first, as he has 18 past
convictions on his record, most for traffic offenses,
per a report from The Independent. McGregor last competed at
UFC 264 in July 2021, where he broke his leg at the end of the
opening round against Dustin
Poirier. As he stated above, McGregor is still training, in
hopes of a return sometime in 2022.
