Earlier this week, former UFC lightweight and featherweight champion Conor McGregor arrested and briefly jailed after breaking the cellphone of a man in Miami. Mahamad Abdirzak, the father of McGregor’s alleged victim, says this is precisely the kind of behaviour he expects from the Irish MMA superstar \u2014 which is why he supports McGregor’s rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat McGregor did is exactly in his character,\u201d Mahamad Abdirzak told the Daily Mail<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s an angry man. I\u2019m not a fan of his at all. I prefer Khabib (Nurmagomedov). He\u2019s the fighter I like to watch, not McGregor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The victim himself has also spoken up<\/a> since this run-in with Conor McGregor. He opened up on the incident in an interview with TMZ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe ended up at LIV on a Sunday,” he said of his brush with Conor McGregor. ‘Blueface was there so we were just seeing what was popping. There were quite a few A-list celebrities over there, Birdman, Blueface, NFL and a few NBA players over there. So we see McGregor in the club and it was all cool or whatnot. On the way out, we were just waiting for our vehicle from the valet. As soon as we go pick it up, I see Conor McGregor. So I tried to take out my little phone. As soon as I pull out my phone, McGregor comes and he tries to shake my hand. As soon as he went to shake my hand he pulled me in, grabbed my phone and started smashing it. All of his security guards literally surrounded me, pushed me out of the way. And he\u2019s stomping on it, there\u2019s a video that will be released soon. He was being real rude like, \u2018Get the fuck out of my face, you don\u2019t just do that.\u2019 So I was like, \u2018Sir can I have my phone back?\u2019 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“And there was all of his security and entourage around him. I just kept asking if I can have my phone back. They were like, \u2018Move man, move, you better listen to what Conor say.\u2019 McGregor then picked up the phone and put it in his pocket, laughed and then he got in his SUV and they drove off. That\u2019s when the hotel manager came. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I got pictures of my son that I didn\u2019t even save to my iCloud, so that\u2019s what pisses me off the most. Those pictures I am probably not going to ever get again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
