Conor McGregor's $185,000 Bentley seized after the UFC star was arrested on a charge of dangerous driving, according to a new report

• Conor McGregor was detained by police Tuesday for dangerous driving, per the Irish Independent.
• His vehicle, a $185,000 Bentley, was temporarily seized but has been given back to him.

Conor McGregor's $185,000 Bentley Continental GT was temporarily seized after the UFC star was arrested Wednesday on a charge of dangerous driving in Dublin, according to a report in Ireland from the Irish Independent.

The vehicle has since been returned to him.

According to the report, McGregor, a former two-weight UFC champion, was detained Tuesday and then released on bail. McGregor's representatives confirmed to the Independent that he was stopped for traffic violations.

Insider sought comment from McGregor's representatives in Ireland and in the US but is yet to hear a reply.

A spokesperson told Irish Independent's Robin Schiller: "Mr. McGregor was driving to the gym when he was stopped by Gardai for alleged road traffic violations. He passed the drug and alcohol tests taken at the station."

Schiller writes that McGregor was charged with dangerous driving and will appear before a court in April. He appeared before the same court in 2007 and was fined €400 ($440) for speeding.

"Gardai arrested a man aged in his 30s in relation to an incident of dangerous driving in the Palmerstown area yesterday evening, Tuesday 22nd March 2022," a spokesperson from the Irish police told the Irish Independent.

"The man was taken to Lucan Garda Station where he was later charged. He has been released pending an appearance before Blanchardstown District Court at a later date."

During a 2019 hearing in which McGregor was fined €1,000 ($1,100) for pleading guilty to the common assault of a man at a pub that year, the court heard McGregor had 18 previous convictions.

The Irish Independent said they were mostly for road traffic offenses, but one was for assault.

Other controversies include storming the Bellator MMA cage in 2017, throwing a dolly at a bus window and injuring athletes on board in 2018, and for an alleged attack on Francesco Facchinetti.

Facchinetti, an Italian DJ, accused McGregor of punching him "for nothing" and breaking his nose at a party in Rome last year.

The assault accusation followed an incident on the red carpet of the VMAs in New York the previous month.

McGregor was seen on video throwing a drink at the rapper Machine Gun Kelly before calling him a "little vanilla boy."

He told Entertainment Tonight at the time: "I just showed up, and I don't know. I don't even know the guy. Nothing happened with me. I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean?"
