Conor McGregor made a court appearance owing to his dangerous driving arrest last month in Dublin Ireland
Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor had another run-in with the law last month when he was arrested for ‘alleged traffic violations’. The ‘Notorious’ one was back in court on Thursday afternoon to answer for his “dangerous driving” arrest.
The judge proclaimed a total of six offenses, including two counts of dangerous driving and operating a vehicle without a license and insurance.
McGregor has been remanded on bail and will return to court in June, according to Dublin Live.
Fans and media gathered outside the courtroom to catch a glimpse or grab a byte with the Irish superstar. When asked about his plans he said, “Straight back into training. Straight back in. I’m looking forward to getting back into the Octagon. We’ll see what happens. Day by day the leg’s getting better so I’m happy with that. I think 170 is what I’m aiming for. I feel good at this weight.”
Former UFC double champion Conor McGregor has an idea in place for UFC 273. Apart from the usual fight night payouts, fighter strive to get the best finishes and performances to secure the extra $50,000.
McGregor was amused by the UFC 273 pre-fight press conference, and expressed his thoughts on Twitter. The ‘Notorious One’ addressed the no face-off show at the presser and urged that the UFC should continue the tradition and put on a show for the fans.
Apart from this, Conor also suggested that the UFC top brass must boost the performance bonuses for UFC 273 to $60,000. He believes that this action by the company will go a long way in motivating the fighters, which in turn will ensure exciting fights. He also added that the card has all the makings to be one of the best this year.
He reacted to the ceremonial press conference on Twitter by saying, ‘Great to see all the young pups up there @ufc today! We do face offs always here. Correct this going forward. Awesome stuff! Is it a “big fights feel” somewhat right now with this card? I think so! Let’s go fighters, bring it home! 60g’z Dana! Up the bonus, let them go for it!’
