UFC star Conor McGregor has appeared in court charged with dangerous driving and other motoring offences.

After his arrest last month, his spokesperson said: “Mr McGregor was driving to the gym when he was stopped by gardaí for alleged road traffic violations. The charge of dangerous driving is under Section 53 of the Road Traffic Act. It alleges the accused drove in a manner, including speed, which, “having regard to all the circumstances of the case including the condition of the vehicle, the nature, condition and use of such place and the amount of the traffic… He adjourned the case to June 23, for compliance with that order and for the accused to either enter a plea or be given a trial date if he is contesting the charges. McGregor arrived at the west Dublin courthouse in a 21-registered Rolls Royce, for his first appearance on the charges. He said McGregor was charged before the court sitting at 10.55am and made no reply to each count after caution. Dressed in a grey blazer, white shirt, dark striped tie, dark jeans and black shoes, he sat in the dock and looked around the courtroom, glancing up at the judge occasionally.

The UFC star was initially arrested on March 22nd for dangerous driving, but the violations that he was facing were not disclosed at the time.

He passed all drug and alcohol tests that were administered to him at the time. Despite only holding one victory since 2016, he is still a big-money draw for the UFC. McGregor was the highest-paid athlete in the world in 2021, and is the richest athlete in the history of the UFC. Per ESPN, the charges McGregor faces include two counts of dangerous driving, one count of driving without a license, one count of failure to produce a license, one count of driving without insurance and one count of failure to produce insurance.
