On vacation in Italy, Conor McGregor has been talked about again. The UFC star is said to have hit a local celebrity.
It had to be a spiritual sojourn, it turned into a fight. Still at rest after his loss and injury to Dustin Poirier last July, “The Notorious” went to the Vatican to baptize his last son. So far all is well, except that the problems have returned to him.
Conor McGregor then took the opportunity to spend a few days in Italy and in particular in Rome. He was recognized by several fans and notably crossed paths with José Mourinho, current coach of AS Roma.
Only, if all went well so far for the Irish fighter, whose return to the octagons is not yet planned, he was accused of violence by an Italian DJ, with whom he had just spent the evening during a party. On his Instagram account, Francesco Facchinetti explained himself.
“At 2:30 am that night, I was attacked by Mr. McGregor,” explains the celebrity. The very famous McGregor, who hit me in the mouth, broke my nose in front of ten witnesses, his friends and his bodyguards. He attacked me without motivation, because we talked for over two hours and had fun together too. I could have kept quiet and said nothing to anyone, but since I’m here to say it, I must say that this person is really violent and dangerous ”.
His wife, Wilma Faissol, also recounted everything that had happened. “He hit him in the face,” she explains. They were very close… he could have killed him. He threw it in the air, he fell on a table… he rolled over, fell on a chair. “
