Italian DJ claims footage of alleged assault will end Conor McGregor’s career

Italian DJ Francesco Facchinetti claims the video footage of Conor McGregor 's alleged assault will end the UFC star's career.

McGregor is alleged to have punched Mr. Facchinetti when the pair partied together in Rome during the early hours of Sunday morning.

Mr. Facchinetti claimed he and McGregor were on good terms before the alleged attack, talking about everything from McGregor's 'Notorious' documentary to his £2.6 million Lamborghini yacht.

It was around 2.30am when Mr. Facchinetti said things took a turn for the worst as McGregor struck him in the mouth "without motivation".

And Mr. Facchinetti now claims video footage of the alleged incident that will put McGregor's fighting future in question.

He told Sherdog : "Where are the videos? I think, if that video is going out, sorry for Mr. McGregor but this is the last time he can punch in normal life and inside the octagon because I'm waiting that type of video.

"When I went out I say to my wife and my friends I don't want to do nothing you know. He can kill me okay? Because his punch is like a Kalashnikov, he can kill me okay? I am alive, I'm lucky, I wan't to go back.

"My friend Ben said to me, 'if you don't do nothing you are f***ing stupid because you saw what happened. The bodyguards are not for defend[ing] McGregor against the people, they are defend[ing] the people from Mr. McGregor.'

"He told me 'you need to go to the police first because the next time he punch another guy and that guy die or go to the hospital or something bad happens, it's also your fault…"

The Daily Mirror has contacted Conor McGregor's representatives for comment.

McGregor is currently in Rome with his family to collect his new yacht, but has also spent time having his son Rian baptised and meeting renowned football manager Jose Mourinho.

Mr. Facchinetti – who is an MMA fan – believes the alleged incident will not be a good look for the sport.

He said on his YouTube channel: "I am very sad about this thing, first because humanly it really bothered me, it was bad.

"Secondly, because I am an MMA fan, and as I said before, a McGregor fan, as he has done so much for this sport so I am really sorry about what happened.

"Third, because I am trying to invest in the MMA world in Italy, I work with many fighters not just in the MMA world but also in boxing, so it annoys me that in some way the fighting world could be associated with the bully world."
