Miesha Tate on Conor McGregor’s arrest: ‘You cannot take a person’s phone and smash it’

You can’t just go around smashing up people’s phones, Conor.

The Irish combat sports star found himself in the headlines for all the wrong reasons on Monday, when it was reported that the former UFC ‘champ-champ’ had took a man’s phone and stomped on it outside a nightclub in Miami.

McGregor has been charged with strong-arm robbery and criminal mischief, and the 30-year-old is expected to attend his first court hearing on April 10. ‘The Notorious’ was released from custody in the early hours of Monday morning after posting his $12,500 bond.

Speaking on a recent episode of MMA Tonight, former UFC women’s bantamweight champ Miesha Tate said she can understand McGregor’s frustration but advised the Dubliner to conduct himself better in the public eye.
