THERE HAVE been concerns for MMA fighter Conor McGregor after the sports star wrote a cryptic post on social media saying he 'can't go on'.
The Dubliner has been at the centre of controversy in recent days after he was arrested on the French island of Corsica under suspicion of sexual assault and indecent exposure.
According to the AFP news agency, the Irishman has been arrested and taken into custody following the alleged incident, which is understood to have involved McGregor allegedly 'flashing' a married woman following a night of heavy drinking.
The prosecutor's office wrote in a statement: “Following a complaint filed on September 10 denouncing acts that could be described as attempted sexual assault and sexual exhibition, Mr. Conor Anthony McGregor was the subject of a hearing by the police.”
A spokesperson for McGregor told TMZ Sports that the Dubliner "vigorously denies any accusations of misconduct" against him; he was interviewed by police and released without charge.
