Conor McGregor avoids jail for assault, conviction could put US fighting career in jeopardy

The court heard the MMA fighter has already paid compensation to the man, but the amount wasn't disclosed this afternoon.

Conor McGregor has been spared a jail sentence but his fighting career in America could be in jeopardy after he was fined €1,000 for an unprovoked attack on a man in a Dublin pub.

Desmond Keogh in his 50s from south west Dublin had been at the Marble Arch Pub, Benbulben Road, in Drimnagh at about 2.30pm on 6 April when he was punched by the mixed martial arts (MMA) star.
