UFC Retiree Connor McRaper, hahaha Muh Greggah
Newly retired UFC fighter Conor McGregor under investigation for sexual assault in Ireland
Add him to the list, officially since Anons already knew that.
Mixed martial artist Conor McGregor is being investigated by Irish police for an alleged sexual assault that occurred in Dublin in December.
According to a report by the New York Times, McGregor, who is Irish, is the "unnamed sportsman" who is being investigated for a sexual assault that allegedly occurred at Dublin's Beacon Hotel in December. McGregor is reportedly a frequent visitor of the hotel, renting out the hotel's only penthouse suite when staying.
Irish law prevents media from identifying those accused of rape until they're convicted, leading to the suspect and the victim being anonymous until the conclusion of the case, but sources said McGregor was arrested in January and released after questioning by police, which is not unusual for Irish proceedings in which charges do not always immediately follow detention.
McGregor, who famously lost a 2017 boxing match to undefeated champion Floyd Mayweather Jr., announced his retirement from the Ultimate Fighting Championship and mixed martial arts early Tuesday morning with a tweet calling it the "sport formally known as 'Mixed Martial Art.'"
"Hey guys quick announcement, I’ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as 'Mixed Martial Art' today," McGregor tweeted. "I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition. I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement. Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!"
McGregor briefly retired in spring 2016 and his tweet Tuesday morning was met with skepticism by followers.
McGregor's spokeswoman, Karen Kessler, put out a statement Tuesday, saying, "The assumption that the Conor retirement announcement today is related to this rumor is absolutely false."
Investigators are reportedly in possession of closed-circuit TV footage of McGregor and evidence from the room in which he was staying. Irish newsrooms sent out internal memos instructing employees how to discuss the situation without naming McGregor specifically.
McGregor also faces criminal charges in the United States after being arrested in Miami Beach in March after he slapped a cellphone out of the hand of someone trying to take his picture and smashing the cellphone. He was charged with strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief.
