The 30-year-old rider was clocked at 154 km / h in an area of ​​100 km / h, as reported for the first time by the Irish Sun.

A court this afternoon heard MMA star McGregor plead guilty to exceeding his speed.

Judge Desmond Zaidan fined him 1,000 euros and banned him from driving for six months.

On October 11, 2017 at 10:57 pm, the court heard that the Notorious exceeded the limit by 54 km. The audience hall at Naas was filled with supporters.

Evidence was also given that McGregor had accumulated 12 previous shots.

In his sentence, the judge told McGregor: "Speed ​​kills."

Outside the field, the superstar told reporters: "You have to drive safer."

McGregor was summoned to appear before the Naas District Court in County Kildare last Wednesday for the crime in the Kildare area.

But the UFC 's ace, with an address in Lucan, Dublin, was visible nowhere when his case was called last week.

McGregor appeared in court today, wearing a navy plaid suit, with a white shirt and a navy blue tie.

The judge described McGregor's four blows, one for speeding and three for failing to produce a driver's license.

The driving license production charges were dropped today.

Sergeant Jim Kelly told the court that the Gardai had summoned the McGregor summons "face to face".

Last week, the judge warned the famous grappler that he had to appear in court.

He claimed that the young military man should be aware of the case, stating, "There is no question that Mr. McGregor is not aware of it."

And the judge sent a clear message to the accused superstar last week.

He said, "I will not ask why he is not here, but it is up to the defense lawyer to ask his client to appear at the hearing.

"If it is disputed, I will not hear the case in absentia (in the absence of McGregor)."

Judge Zaidan also added that if McGregor or his lawyers wanted to have more information about the case, they could contact the Gardai.

The case was brought to the Naas District Court last week and was sent back to today.

Last November, Mr McGregor was fined EUR 400 by the Blanchardstown High Court for speeding on the road to Naas, near Dublin.
