Mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor appeared in a Dublin court on Friday over an alleged assault on a man in a pub in April. The 31-year-old Irishman stood at the back of the courtroom as his solicitor, Michael Staines, requested an adjournment until 1 November to allow for disclosure of evidence.
Judge Marie Keane instructed the former two-weight Ultimate Fighting Championship title-holder, who wore a navy patterned suit, to return in three weeks. At that hearing, he will be asked to enter a plea or set a date for trial.
McGregor faces separate charges from April 2018, when he was accused of attacking a charter bus carrying UFC fighters in New York. He was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief, but later pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of disorderly conduct.
The fighter has not competed since losing his UFC lightweight title to Khabib Nurmagomedov a year ago this week. He announced his retirement from mixed martial arts in March.
