UFC superstar Conor McGregor has received some good news today.

He will not be charged from in alleged sexual assault stemming from a 2020 incident in the French island of Corsica. McGregor was detained by local police, but released before ever being formally arrested.

TMZ Sports has now received a letter sent to McGregor by the city of Bastia that clears him from the incident. The letter claims that prosecutors did not have enough evidence to move forward with a case against Conor.

The letter was sent in french, but was translated by TMZ.

“The examination of the present proceedings does not justify any criminal prosecution since:
— The facts or the circumstances of the facts of the proceedings could not have been clearly established by the investigations.
— The pieces of evidence are therefore not sufficient for the offense to be constituted and for criminal prosecution to be engaged.“

McGregor also signed his contract for a trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in Las Vegas on July 10.

In Conor McGregor’s last fight, Poirier shocked the outspoken Irishman with a second round TKO. He’ll hope for a better outcome this time around.
