Authorities are investigating a suspected arson attack at a Dublin pub owned by former UFC champion Conor McGregor. The Black Forge Inn, located on Drimnagh Road in Crumlin, caught fire in the early hours of the morning, with emergency crews responding around 3:00 AM.
Dublin Fire Brigade quickly contained the blaze, and police have since conducted a forensic examination of the scene. While no arrests have been made, the incident is being treated as deliberate criminal damage.
The pub has been a high-profile venture for McGregor, who has faced recent legal troubles. In a separate case, he lost an appeal in a civil lawsuit where he was accused of sexual assault by a woman in 2018. The court upheld the ruling, requiring him to pay damages.
Investigations into the fire remain ongoing as authorities work to determine the cause and identify those responsible.
