Conor McGregor showed up late to court for speeding, and the judge was pissed off

We’ve been asking ourselves for a while now, especially given his actions of late, whether UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor thinks he’s above the sport of MMA.

But is it time to take that a step further and wonder if “The Notorious” thinks he’s above the law?

McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC) on Thursday morning was due in court to face a third charge for speeding after he was cited in March for driving 98 mph in a 60-mph zone on a road outside Dublin. Thing is, McGregor initially failed to appear, which angered the judge.

Via mirror.co.uk:

Conor McGregor made a late dash to court this morning after being accused of showing disrespect by not turning up to face a speeding charge for a third time.

The UFC star was due to appear at Blanchardstown District Court this morning but initially failed to show.

His solicitor admitted he did not know where McGregor was, and the judge reacted with fury.

Judge Miriam Walsh fumed: “I’m getting nothing but fingers from Mr. McGregor. If he’s making a case he has to be here.

“This is absolute disrespect to the court. I am very annoyed with Mr. McGregor.”

So where was McGregor? Apparently at home taking a selfie to show off … an Adidas training outfit.

At some point between the selfie above and the start of the court appearance, McGregor’s lawyer, Graham Kenny, told the judge he would call McGregor to get him to court. The judge agreed to push back McGregor’s appearance until later Tuesday, and he eventually showed up in his sleek BMW.

More Instagram posts from McGregor ensued:

Feet up on one of my dashes do a dash when you see me

After all was said and done, the judge fined McGregor £350 ($471.25 USD) – which he was given the option to pay in installments LOL – for speeding and threatened to have him arrested if he failed to appear in court again.

Judging by McGregor’s Instagram posts afterward, he seems to have taken none of this seriously.

So, basically, the good times roll on for McGregor after he may or may not have punched a mob associate, caused a melee at a recent Bellator event and dropped multiple homophobic slurs backstage at a recent UFC event.

Can’t wait for whatever happens next with this guy.
