Conor McGregor receives 2-year driving ban, avoids jail
Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor will avoid jail for a 2022 driving incident where the famed fighter was arrested and had his car seized after being stopped in his home country of Ireland.
According to reports, McGregor allegedly ran a red light and sped through traffic, nearly causing a collision, but today accepted a five-month suspended sentence on the condition that he pay a €5,000 fine and keeps the peace for two years, and take a two-year driving ban.
McGregor faced several other charges stemming from the incident, including driving without insurance and driving without a license, but those charges were withdrawn after he successfully produced the necessary documents.
