The man who sued Conor McGregor for allegedly smashing and stealing his cell phone has dropped the lawsuit, according to TMZ and ESPN, which cited online court records.
The alleged victim, Ahmed Abdirzak, filed documents to have the lawsuit dismissed. He had been seeking $15,000 in damages after alleging that McGregor, 30, destroyed and stole his phone outside a nightclub in Miami. Part of the incident was caught on video.
McGregor is still facing criminal charges for the incident and is scheduled to be arraigned on Wednesday. According to ESPN, McGregor has filed a written plea of not guilty on one felony charge of robbery sudden snatching and one misdemeanor charge of criminal mischief. Those charges were reduced last week.
McGregor’s arrest in Miami was just one of his latest run-ins with the law. Last July, McGregor pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct as part of a deal to avoid jail time for his infamous Brooklyn bus attack at UFC 223. Earlier this month, McGregor completed anger management and five days of community service by cleaning up churches.
Last month, the New York Times named McGregor as the subject of an investigation into an alleged sexual assault at a hotel in his native Dublin.
McGregor announced his retirement just one day prior to the Times’ report but has since hinted at his desire to rematch UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov in a recent Twitter war that grew increasingly nasty, forcing Dana White to intervene.
