Conor McGregor Pleads Guilty For April Bar Incident

Conor McGregor has pleaded guilty to an assault charge stemming from his April incident in which he punched a 50-year-old man inside an Irish pub. The report comes from The Journal this morning (Fri. November 1, 2019).

McGregor received the assault charge in October and was present in the Criminal Courts Of Justice building on Friday, along with his solicitor, Michael Staines. Staines informed the court of McGregor’s guilty plea. With the charge, McGregor looks at a maximum potential prison term of six months, along with a possible fine of $2,202. McGregor will receive his official sentence on Friday afternoon.

The middle-aged victim, Desmond Keogh, was not present in court, but did inform the judge that he has accepted an apology and did not wish to make a victim impact statement. McGregor’s April incident is just one of several legal matters the UFC star has been involved in over the past several months.

McGregor found himself in legal trouble for his UFC 223 bus incident, smashing a heckler’s phone in Miami, and also has a pair of sexual assault allegations being thrown at him. In the midst of all this, McGregor is expected to make his Octagon return in January against Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone.
