UFC fighter Conor McGregor appeared in court Thursday, facing six driving-related offenses in Ireland.
The Irish native appeared in Blanchardstown District Court and was informed that he is facing two counts of dangerous driving, driving without a license, failing to produce a license, driving without insurance, and failing to produce proof of insurance, a spokesperson for the court confirmed to ESPN.
McGregor, 33, had been driving to the gym in March when he was stopped by police for the alleged traffic violations, his spokeswoman, Karen Kessler, said. “He passed the drug and alcohol tests taken at the station,” Kessler told ESPN at the time.
