Conor McGregor UFC news: Case against Notorious on single assault charge adjourned at Dublin District Court

Conor McGregor's alleged assault case was adjourned for almost three weeks this morning after his solicitor asked for more time to prepare his defence case.

Flanked by two security men, the 31-year-old walked into the Criminal Courts of Justice on Friday shortly before 10am.

He was charged with a Section 2 assault, arising out of an alleged attack on victim Des Keogh in a Dublin pub six months ago.

Solicitor Michael Staines asked Judge Marie Keane for an adjournment of a few weeks on the grounds of disclosure relating to CCTV of the incident.

Prosecuting Garda Jason O’Carroll of Crumlin Garda Station agreed to the request.

McGregor, of Ladycastle, Straffan, Co Kildare, is set to appear in court again on November 1.

He is facing a single assault charge, which carries a maximum prison term of six months or a €1,500 fine, or both, if convicted.

The garda investigation was launched after the alleged incident at the Marble Arch pub in Drimnagh on April 6.
