The internet was awash with rumors on Friday night claiming Conor McGregor was arrested following a fracas in a Dublin hotel
As previously reported by MMANews’ Fernando Quiles Jr., Charlie Ward took on John Redmond inside the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. The bout was part of the Bellator 187 card which will air on Spike TV via tape delay. McGregor attended the event to show support for Ward.
After the fight when McGregor went over to Ward, Goddard pulled him away from the fighter. In response, McGregor ran behind Goddard and gave him a shove.
The animosity between McGregor and Goddard started back at a UFC event in Poland. McGregor was told by Goddard to get back in his seat after cheering on Artem Lobov. The problem was, McGregor was at Octagon side despite not being in Lobov’s corner.
Following the fracas, the internet rumor mill was awash with claims that the UFC lightweight champion was arrested by Police in Dublin following a fight in the Gibson Hotel. It appears that these rumors were nothing more than that, however:
McGregor rep tells me he just spoke with Conor and reports of him being arrested are incorrect.

According to source with Conor McGregor's camp, there is no truth to rumor online of any arrest. Source told me, "not true."

I'm getting a lot of tweets regarding
"Has Conor McGregor been arrested at the Gibson Hotel this evening"
….. I've just asked the reception who said they knew nothing about the incident

Having reached out to Police officials in Dublin, there was no word on McGregor’s detainment whatsoever. Stick with MMANews.com for the latest on the “Notorious” one.
