CONOR MCGREGOR was reportedly investigated for allegedly slapping a pensioner on the back of the head after the man turned down the offer of a free pint.
According to an exclusive report from The Irish Sun, McGregor was accused of assaulting the man, said to be in his 60s, during a visit to the Marble Arch pub in Drimnagh on April 6th.
McGregor is alleged to have struck the man after he turned down the offer of a free drink from the MMA star, who was buying everyone in the pub a drink when the incident happened.
The Irish Sun reports that investigators from Sundrive Road Garda station in Crumlin completed a probe into the incident following a formal complaint from the man involved.
He claims to have been struck on the side of the head by the sports star.
Gardai have sent a file containing their findings to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

McGregor could face Section Two Assault charges as a result of the probe, with a potential appearance at the District Court in the offing.
A source told the Irish Sun: “The file is almost complete and should be making its way to the offices of the DPP sometime this week.
“A complaint and a statement have both been made and it will now be a matter for the DPP for the next course of action.”
The incident comes just a few weeks after McGregor avoided a court appearance over the alleged theft of a fan’s phone in the US.
The charges were ultimately dropped.
