Conor McGregor appeared to be behind the wheel in the U.S. while he is serving an active driving disqualification from doing so in his home country. This news has online users questioning the photos and the rules surrounding the ban.
The UFC star is serving a two-year driving disqualification in Ireland
Conor McGregor is serving a driving ban in his home country, Ireland. However, despite the ban, photos show him in the driver’s seat in the U.S. The pictures surfaced when the UFC star shared them on his Instagram account, according to The Blast. He shared the details of the event, tagged sports outlets, and thanked them for the arrangements. However, he deleted the post later.
In one of the pictures, he was sitting in the driver’s seat along with his wife, Dee Devlin. The couple was seen driving near the airport runway as a jet was visible in the background. However, there is no clarification on whether he was driving or it was just for photos.
McGregor faced a two-year driving disqualification and a five-month suspended prison sentence in Ireland in 2024. He pleaded guilty to rash driving in Dublin. The officers reportedly had to pursue him at high speed to catch him. The judge described his conduct as “persistent, prolonged and deliberate” while delivering the decision. When living in the U.S., foreign drivers need to meet local requirements for their license to remain valid before driving legally.
Soon after the photos surfaced, online users called out the UFC star and questioned the system.
One Reddit user said, “Wow, another rich man doing whatever he wants with no consequence. Color me shocked.”Another user commented, “It is mind-boggling to me that women would be in this man’s presence willingly.”
One user even questioned the law, saying, “Say it with me: laws need to be upheld for everyone. No preferential treatment.”
The recent photos have fueled debate over McGregor appearing behind the wheel while serving a driving ban in Ireland. However, it remains unclear whether the ban has any legal impact in the U.S. McGregor has not made any public comment regarding the backlash.
