Conor McGregor appears in court over alleged assault

UFC fighter Conor McGregor will remain on bail after he appeared in court over an alleged assault in a pub in Dublin.

The mixed martial arts fighter is accused of assaulting Desmond Keogh at the Marble Arch pub in Drimnagh, Dublin, on April 6, where McGregor was promoting his brand of whisky.

The 31-year-old appeared at Dublin District Court in the Irish Criminal Court of Justice today, flanked by two security men.

His solicitor, Michael Staines, confirmed that his client is currently on bail and asked for the case to be adjourned to November 1.

Garda Jason O'Carroll made no objection to the application. He said that disclosure in the case is outstanding.

The judge remanded McGregor on continuing bail until November 1 when the fighter will either make a plea or contest the charge.

McGregor, of Lady Castle, Straffan, Co Kildare, is charged with one count of assault.
