One of the most renowned UFC fighters Conor McGregor gets arrested in France over sexual allegations.
Conor McGregor is in the headlines again, and this time for the worse reason. The Irishman has been taken into custody by Corsica police, on suspicion of attempted sexual assault and indecent exposure. Mcgregor, who is retired, was seemingly in France and was enjoying his time away from the ring, with his family. A couple of days ago, USADA paid him a surprise visit, and now this new complication has evidently ended his holiday.

Conor McGregor Previous Legal Cases
Conor McGregor, 32, has beleaguered in legal matters before. In 2018, he was arrested for attacking a bus filled with UFC fighters, and in 2019, the Notorious One once again landed in trouble, when a video surfaced which featured him assaulting an older person in a bar in Dublin.
The Mystic Man last appeared in The Octagon, in January 2020, and then after months of inactivity, following the emergence of Global Pandemic, he announced his 3rd career retirement in June. However, the speculations about his return were ever rife.
Before this event, he was having a quiet 2020, and there were discussions that UFC might have lost opportunity with Conor McGregor, since, opposed to last couple of years, there were less distractions around him. But with this serious allegation, he’s again in the harm’s way. Though, according to sources he has vehemently denied all the accusations.
