Italian DJ Francesco Facchinetti has threatened to ‘end Conor McGregor’s career’ following an alleged assault that left him with a ‘bloody lip’

The musician claimed that he met the UFC legend while attending an event at the St Regis hotel, in Rome, earlier this week, and was allegedly ‘punched’ by him ‘for no reason’.

Since making the claim, the 41-year-old has chatted with Sherdog and claimed he’s waiting for an alleged video of the ‘attack’ to be shared on social media.

Facchinetti said: “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 for 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 want 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’.”

The DJ then claimed that he’d been advised to ‘go to the police’ to prevent the Irish fighter from doing something ‘bad’ in the future.

McGregor has not responded to the claims.
