Former two-division UFC champion Conor McGregor was arrested the night of March 11, 2019 in Miami Beach, Florida and charged with felony strong-armed robbery and misdemeanor criminal mischief. Ahmed Abdirzak, on vacation from England with friends, had been out at the LIV Nightclub at Miami’s Fountainebleu hotel. Abdirzak exited the nightclub along with McGregor and his entourage, but when he tried to take a photo with McGregor things turned south.
The 30-year-old McGregor smacked the phone from Abdirzak’s hand and stomped on it multiple times, before picking it up himself and walking away with it. The phone was reportedly valued at $1,000.
The entire incident was captured on surveillance video and detectives later located and arrested McGregor at his Miami Beach Airbnb. McGregor was booked into jail and released from custody approximately four hours later, after posting a $12,500 bond.Â
In Mid-May 2019 prosecutors dropped all charges against the former UFC champion, stating that the Abdirzak had stopped cooperating with investigators and had recanted his story. According to the The Miami Herald, Abdirzak dropped his civil lawsuit against McGregor after reaching a settlement. Abdirzak had been seeking $15,000 in damages.
Florida assistant state attorney Khalil Madani said that Abdirzak “has credibility issues as he’s changed his previously sworn testimony.†He added, “Based on the witness’s credibility issues, his unwillingness to respond to a subpoena and the inability of the witnesses to testify as to his subjective mindset, the State of Florida cannot prove the charges against Mr. McGregor beyond a reasonable doubt.â€
This is the entirety of the surveillance footage. (Much of it has been sped up.) Until now only a fraction of the footage had been publicly available.

It’s all fun and games when you point a camera in someone’s face and you’re laughing at them, but he wasn’t laughing after McGregor slapped it out his hand and smashed it. Shouldn’t push people’s buttons 🤷ðŸ»â€â™‚ï¸
Gets his $1000 phone broken but then drops the charges to seek $15k in "damages" lmao the bum just wanted a McGregor payday
Tell me you think you're above the law, without telling me you think you're above the law.

omg he is so fast
low iq, hyperactive joggers. I hate them.
Why the fuck would he do that? He does realize without his FANS he wouldn't be SHIT. he would be back where he came from in his self pitty little story he tells. He isn't humble. He isn't respectful. He honestly is a disgrace to the sport now. Idc how "good" you are, you have to sport a good character. Why take your shoes off as a symbol of respect, when you are still just a disrespectful person. Just leave ya shoes on lol. Smh 😔 he definitely lost me as a supporter. Character over all for me
The man is just an idit
Ufc lives matter. Conor a victim
