MMA star Conor McGregor has been convicted of road traffic offences and disqualified from driving for two years.
The 36-year-old reportedly admitted to "an appalling series of dangerous driving incidents", including breaking a red light, speeding in and out of traffic and almost colliding with another motorist.
The fighter was also fined €5,000 and given a five-month suspended prison sentence.
This isn't the first time the Dublin man has been convicted of driving offences.
In both 2017 and 2018, he pleaded guilty to speeding offences and paid fines, also having his driving privileges revoked for six months.
McGregor's UFC comeback was halted after he withdrew from his fight with Michael Chandler at UFC 303 due to injury.
McGregor was due to face Chandler at the event on June 29 in Las Vegas.
Dana White, the UFC CEO, said that the Irish fighter is out of the event after sustaining an injury, which was not disclosed at the time.
“Conor McGregor is out of UFC 303 with an injury,” White said on X.
“It has been a crazy week here at UFC.”
