An Italian DJ said MMA star Conor McGregor punched him & broke his nose at a party in Rome.
Francesco Facchinetti & his wife made the allegations on social media & said they were out clubbing with the star. It was hours after McGregor & his partner, Dee Devlin, had their son baptized at the Vatican.
Facchinetti said they were out "having fun" with McGregor for two hours when McGregor invited them to another party. When the DJ accepted the invite, McGregor punched him in the nose & broke it, he said on an Instagram video.
“At 2.30 this night I was attacked by Mr. McGregor,” Facchinetti said. “The very famous McGregor, who punched me in the mouth, broke my nose in front of 10 witnesses, his friends & his bodyguards. He attacked me without motivation as we talked for more than two hours & we also had fun together. I could have shut up & not say anything to anyone, but since I’m here to tell it, I must say that that person is really violent & dangerous.”
Facchinette's wife, Wilma, also detailed the incident on social media:
“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’ & 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 & 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 & 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 & the guards turned them off. Francesco was bleeding. I wanted to help him & the guards chased us away.
“He will stay in Italy until October 26th. If you see him stay away from him. Don’t go near him & ask for autographs because he is an unstable & dangerous person."
Facchinette said on social media he plans to sue McGregor.
“I took a punch for nothing. That punch could go to anyone. My friends, my wife, or other friends. That’s why I decided to sue Conor McGregor because he is a violent & dangerous person.”
McGregor continues to get into trouble outside of his MMA career. He reportedly got into a scuffle with Machine Gun Kelly at the MTV Video Music Awards in September. In 2019, McGregor was charged with assault after punching a man in a Dublin bar while promoting his new brand of whiskey. He pleaded guilty.
And a year prior he hurled a dolly at a bus the week of a bout, breaking a window & injuring a fighter. There have also been allegations of rape & assault against McGregor over his career.
