UFC star Conor McGregor was arrested and charged in Miami after allegedly smashing a fan's phone.
Miami Beach Police charged McGregor with strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief on Monday.
McGregor allegedly attempted to stomp on the phone several times after a fan tried to take a picture outside the Fontainebleau Hotel around 05:00 local time.
The 30-year-old Irishman – who avoided jail time after pleading guilty to disorderly conduct following an incident prior to UFC 223 in Brooklyn last year – then picked up the phone and walked away with it, according to the police report.
McGregor is serving a six-month ban following his brawl involving Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team after UFC 229 in October.
The suspension ends in April and McGregor could be set for a return by as early as June, with UFC president Sana White wanting to make the speculated matchup against Donald Cerrone a reality.
