Conor McGregor Miami arrest: The most controversial moments in the UFC star's professional career

Conor McGregor and trouble are never too far apart.

On Monday, the mixed martial artist and one-time professional boxer was arrested in South Florida for stealing the cellphone of someone who was trying to take his photo, authorities said.

According to a Miami Beach police report, the 30-year-old former two weight world champion was arrested Monday afternoon and charged with robbery and criminal mischief. An attorney for McGregor called the altercation “minor” and said the popular fighter would cooperate with authorities.

The Irishman is being held on $12,500 bail.
