After Artem Lobov Win, Irish Woman Involved in Yacht Incident With Conor McGregor Also Drops Charges Against the UFC Star

The assault charges against UFC star Conor McGregor, stemming from an alleged incident in Ibiza, have now been dropped. 40-year-old Samantha Murphy of Ireland, who had previously filed a lawsuit against McGregor for the alleged assault, has now withdrawn her case. While further details remain unknown, the former UFC double champion can now breathe a sigh of relief.

Conor McGregor celebrated his 34th birthday on a yacht in Ibiza, Spain in July 2022. “The Notorious” was still taking time off due to his leg injury and had not competed in over a year. McGregor had also shared images and videos of the said party on his social media as well.

According to Samantha Murphy’s original grievance, McGregor allegedly assaulted her while on the yacht. However, she escaped the yacht but sustained injuries to her person. Now, a month after the proceedings had begun, the alleged victim has dropped all charges.

Her solicitor Alvaro Blasco revealed Murphy had filed for a notice of discontinuance, on Monday, to cease proceedings.

In her original account of the incident, Murphy claimed that McGregor himself had invited her onto the yacht. She ran into the MMA star during his party, after which he invited her along with a group of others onto his yacht. However, she stated McGregor’s demeanor changed later and that the Irishman allegedly began assaulting her.

Murphy also claimed that she suffered a broken arm during the alleged incident and added that she jumped off the yacht into the water to save herself. In addition to the broken arm, she claimed to have sustained extensive physical bruising as well.

McGregor was due for a hearing regarding an application to preserve video evidence in CCTV cameras and phones related to the alleged incidents in The High Court. In light of the recent withdrawal of the case, the hearing will not go forward as planned.
