It’s obviously a terrible look for McGregor, who only recently completed community service at New York churches to have his assault charges erased from his record.

He’s also currently suspended for his part in the UFC 229 post-fight brawl. That’s a minor concern compared to his latest legal trouble, however. It’s becoming a trend for the former two-division UFC champion, who hasn’t won an MMA bout since November 2016.
