It was not Conor McGregor's first trip to the police station.

According to SB Nation, the UFC superstar's license was suspended for at least six months in 2017, after he teared up streets of Dublin.

In 2019, McGregor was also fined 1,000 Euros but avoided a custodial sentence after he pleaded guilty to assaulting a man in the Marble Arch pub.

In the athlete's 2019 hearing, the court also revealed that the UFC superstar had 18 previous convictions. The said convictions were mostly composed of road traffic offenses. However, there is one for assault causing harm and public order offenses.

Conor McGregor and his associates were also accused by a woman from Dublin over an incident she alleged occurred in 2018. The said claims of the woman were investigated by An Garda Síochána. However, authorities decided that no criminal charges will be brought against the UFC star in connection to the woman's claims.
