Conor McGregor is reportedly under investigation by the Irish police for allegedly inciting hate in the Dublin riots.
Disorder broke out in Ireland's capital last week after a stabbing incident outside a primary school, which saw three young children injured, including a five-year-old girl who was left in a critical condition.
UFC star McGregor condemned the response of Garda chief Drew Harris and his country's government in a series of social media posts which the Irish Mirror claim he's being investigated for.

The 35-year-old wrote on X, formerly Twitter, "you reap what you sow" after last Thursday's (November 23) attack and called for reform. He also urged: "Announce our plan of action!!
"What are we waiting for? Your statements of nothing are absolutely worthless to the solving of this issue. Take Action!! Fix this situation IMMEDIATELY!"
After that night's shocking scenes, which saw around 500 people rioting, McGregor insisted he didn't support that course of action.
Responding to a suggestion he should hold his own "freedom march" by Britain First leader Paul Golding, he wrote: "I do not condone last nights riots. I do not condone any attacks on our first responders in their line of duty.
"I do not condone looting and the damaging of shops. Last nights scenes achieved nothing toward fixing the issues we face. I do understand frustrations however, and I do understand a move must be made to ensure the change we need is ushered in.

"And fast! I am in the process of arranging. Believe me I am way more tactical and I have backing. There will be change in Ireland, mark my words. The change needed. In the last month, innocent children stabbed leaving school.
"Ashling Murphy murdered. Two Sligo men decapitated. This is NOT Ireland’s future! If they do not act soon with their plan of action to ensure Ireland’s safety, I will."
McGregor is believed to be under investigation as part of a wider official criminal probe, with police looking into the stabbing, the riots and social media commentary suspected of inciting hate.
