Conor McGregor Impersonator Busted for Using Fighter’s Name To Sell Drugs

An Englishman was sentenced to three years in prison for impersonating MMA fighter Conor McGregor while selling drugs.

Mark Nye, 34, told officers his name was Conor during a traffic stop last February. The cops observed him trying to get rid of drugs and two cell phones. A search of his vehicle turned up hundreds of business cards for “McGregor Enterprise,” which Nye used while dealing drugs.

A subsequent search of the Nye’s home turned up boric acid, a chemical used as a cutting agent for narcotics. His cellphone also turned up hundreds of texts detailing his drug dealing activity.

Nye pleaded guilty to possession with the intent to supply class A drugs and was sentenced in Guildford Crown Court on April 9.

The real Conor McGregor has also had his fair share of run-ins with the law. In 2018 he was sentenced to anger management classes and five days of community service after throwing a metal trolley at a bus carrying rival UFC fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov.

A year later, he pleaded guilty to punching a man in a Dublin pub and fined £860. He subsequently bought the pub and banned the elderly man.
