This foreign born athlete who sexually assaults women when he cheats on his significant other should be barred from going to other countries because of it and what happened today, but somehow he keeps getting those work visas.

UFC: Conor McGregor convicted of assault and fined for punching elderly man in pub

Conor McGregor was convicted on Friday of assault for punching a man who refused a shot of whiskey from him in a Dublin pub in April, and was fined 1,000 euros (US$1,117).

The 31-year-old former UFC champion offered a guilty plea and apologised to his victim in Dublin’s District Court.

“What I did was very wrong. I would like to apologise again to the injured party … and assure you that nothing of this nature will happen again,” McGregor said.

McGregor’s lawyer Michael Staines asked the court to give him “one last chance” and said a criminal conviction could lead to a refusal of a visa to the US and create “very severe difficulties” for his career.

McGregor, who declined to comment to the media after the hearing, last week announced plans to return to the UFC Octagon in Las Vegas on January 18 against an opponent he declined to name.

He said he wants three fights in 2020, including rematches with Nate Diaz and Khabib Nurmagomedov, who defeated him in a lightweight title bout last year, his most recent MMA fight.

The court heard that McGregor went to a bar he frequents close to Dublin city centre and bought a bottle of Proper Twelve whiskey, a brand he founded, and poured drinks for customers sitting at the bar.

One customer, Desmond Keogh, who McGregor did not know, twice refused a drink by moving the glass away. McGregor twice placed the drink back in front of him, the court heard.

Several minutes later he returned to the man, who was facing away from McGregor, and punched him, a video shown in court showed. – Source
