Morning Report: Miesha Tate on Conor McGregor’s alleged cell-phone destruction: ‘It’s the price of fame’

Early this week, Conor McGregor made headlines when he was arrested for charges of strong-armed robbery, a second-degree felony, and criminal mischief, a third-degree felony, following an alleged incident outside of the nightclub Liv, in Miami, Florida. McGregor allegedly smashed and stomped on a fan’s phone outside of the nightclub, before taking the phone with him when he left.

Aside from garnering headlines, the incident also raised criticism from many in the MMA community, including former UFC bantamweight champion Miesha Tate.

“You can’t do that,” Tate told MMA Tonight recently.
