Conor was pulled over by the police in Dublin over alleged reckless driving
McGregor was taken into custody by the Gardai, Irish police on the grounds of alleged road traffic violations. His car and £140,000 were seized by the police. The car was later returned to him.
Conor cleared the drug and alcohol tests. He was taken to Lucan Garda Station, where he was charged and later, released on bail.
The 33-year-old will appear before the Blanchardstown District Court next month.
McGregor was defeated by Dustin Poirier in July 2021, inflicted with an atypical leg break that required surgery.
Reportedly, McGregor had been fined €400 in the same venue in 2017 for overspeeding.
Conor has been spending more time in the capital of late and is gearing up for a planned comeback to the UFC later this year.
UFC President Dana White mentioned that they are earmarking an autumn return for McGregor if everything goes as expected ahead of clearance handed over by doctors.
