\"Conor<\/p>\n

Former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion Conor McGregor is being accused of sexual assault again in his native Ireland. <\/p>\n

According to <\/p>\n

New York Times, <\/a><\/p>\n

the UFC bad boy is being investigated after a woman claimed she was sexually assaulted in a car parked outside a pub in Dublin last week. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s the second sexual misconduct allegation levied on the 31-year-old mixed martial artist within a year. McGregor has not been charged, nor has he been interviewed by cops about the accusation. <\/p>\n

McGregor was already being investigated by authorities in a separate case where he allegedly attacked a woman at a hotel in Ireland last December. <\/p>\n

\"<\/p>\n

In that case, McGregor was arrested in January, questioned and later released. Results from the investigation are in the hands of Ireland\u2019s prosecutor\u2019s office. <\/p>\n

McGregor is awaiting news on whether charges will be laid. <\/p>\n

In a statement to the Times, McGregor\u2019s publicist noted the MMA fighter \u201cis frequently subject of rumours.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cHe emphatically denies any report accusing him of sexual assault.\u201d <\/p>\n

Hey guys quick announcement, I\u2019ve decided to retire from the sport formally known as \u201cMixed Martial Art\u201d today.
I wish all my old colleagues well going forward in competition.
I now join my former partners on this venture, already in retirement.
Proper Pina Coladas on me fellas!<\/p>\n

Since announcing his retirement in March, McGregor hasn\u2019t been successful at staying out of trouble. <\/p>\n

In March<\/a><\/p>\n

, McGregor was arrested in South Florida after allegedly stealing the cellphone of a person who was trying to take his photo. After being sued by the fan, McGregor settled the lawsuit and the charges were dropped. <\/p>\n

A video<\/a><\/p>\n

surfaced in August which reportedly showed McGregor punching an old man at a Dublin bar after he refused a shot of whiskey. McGregor was charged in the assault and later apologized for the cheap shot. <\/p>\n
