Conor McGregor always finds himself in the light of the controversy. The Notorious’ brash behavior outside the octagon has landed him in trouble a number of times. 

McGregor was in the headlines after he had allegedly punched an Italian DJ in the face and broke his nose. 

Francesco Facchinetti, a DJ from Italy, was the one who was on the receiving end of the MMA star’s punch. The DJ said the punch was unprovoked and there were 10 people who witnessed the whole incident.

What Exactly Happened?

The DJ said, “I took a punch for nothing,” he further added, “That punch could go to anyone. My friends, my wife, or other friends. That’s why I decided to sue Conor McGregor because he is a violent and dangerous person.“

The DJ and his wife, Wilma Helena Faissol, were spending time with McGregor and his fiancé, Dee Devlin when the incident took place at 2:30 am.

Facchinetti’s wife took to Instagram to share the full story. The post said, “Then out of nowhere, he threw a punch in the face of Francesco. He was inviting us to another party. Francesco said, ‘Okay, let’s go and he hit him. Luckily, he [Francesco] was very close so he [Conor] couldn’t load up on his punch. Francesco flew back, fell on the table, and then on the ground. The first thing that came to mind was ‘are we kidding? Is it a show?’ Then I was paralyzed.”

McGregor’s history of public altercations

‘The Notorious’ is indeed notorious to get into public scuffles outside the cage. The most famous one was when he threw a dolly at a bus full of UFC fighters. This event leads to him facing Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229.

The Irishman also took a lot of backlash for hitting an elderly person at the bar.

McGregor was last seen inside the Octagon against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight in 2021. He injured himself during that bout and is yet to make a return.
