UFC star Conor McGregor has once again taken over the spotlight for the wrong reasons.
While his KO of the Miami Heat mascot was gnarly enough, McGregor has landed in much deeper trouble stemming from his appearance at the NBA Finals.
According to TMZ Sports, the Irishman was accused of sexually assaulting a woman. Although he has not been found guilty and there is little substance to make judgments, what's worth noting is that this isn't the first time charges of this nature have been leveled against McGregor.
