Conor McGregor has managed to land himself in hot water once again. The Irish MMA star was accused of punching DJ Francesco Facchinetti out of nowhere while out clubbing.
Conor McGregor was in Rome for the Baptizing of his third son at The Vatican. He was then at a nightclub for over two hours with Facchinetti.
Things then took a turn when Conor McGregor asked him if he wanted to go to another party. Facchinetti said yes and he was then punched in the face, reportedly breaking his nose.
Francesco Facchinetti took to Instagram to explain what happened. The quotes were translated from Italian.
“At 2.30 this night I was attacked by Mr. McGregor,” Facchinetti said, via MMA Mania. “The very famous McGregor, who punched me in the mouth, broke my nose in front of 10 witnesses, his friends and his bodyguards. He attacked me without motivation as we talked for more than two hours and we also had fun together. I could have shut up and not say anything to anyone, but since I’m here to tell it, I must say that that person is really violent and dangerous.”
Facchinetti's wife spoke to Bloody Elbow about the incident with Conor McGregor.
“Then out of nowhere, he threw a punch in the face of Francesco. He was inviting us to another party. Francesco said, ‘Okay, let’s go’ and he hit him. Luckily, he [Francesco] was very close so he [McGregor] couldn’t load up on his punch. Francesco flew back, fell on the table, and then on the ground. The first thing that came to mind was ‘are we kidding? Is it a show?’ Then I was paralyzed. I turned around and saw that his friends were holding him against the wall because he wanted to continue beating Francesco. Then they took him away. I turned on the light and the guards turned them off. Francesco was bleeding. I wanted to help him and the guards chased us away.”
“He will stay in Italy until October 26th,” she added. “If you see him stay away from him. Don’t go near him and ask for autographs because he is an unstable and dangerous person.”
Conor McGregor has been involved in a number of significant incidents including recently going after MGK. He currently doesn't have a fight booked hasn't competed two times against Dustin Poirier this year.
