Conor McGregor fined €1,000 following pub assault incident

Conor McGregor has been fined €1,000 for punching a man in a south inner city pub in April.

The former two-weight UFC champion entered a guilty plea at Dublin District Court on Friday after his initial hearing in the morning was adjourned.

The court was then shown CCTV footage of the incident in a Drimnagh pub which McGregor offered the victim Des Keogh a shot of his Proper Twelve whiskey.

The victim declined and McGregor slammed a shot glass down in front of him before punching him on the left side of his face.

Addressing the court, McGregor said: "I assure you nothing of this nature will happen again regarding me."
