The victim, Samantha Murphy car was on fire after she allegedly received punches and kicks aboard the UFC fighter, Conor McGregor yacht
The MMA champion allegedly punched, kicked, and threatened to drown Samantha Murphy, 40, before she leapt from the massive ship and broke her arm.
After travelling back to Ireland, she filed an official complaint regarding McGregor, 34, with Dublin police. At the request of McGregor’s attorneys, the inquiry into the alleged incident, which is said to have taken place on her superyacht in Ibiza in July 2022, has been reopened in Spain. Since then, it has come to light that Irish police are looking into an arson assault this month on her car, according to MailOnline.
Samantha Murphy woman who accused Conor McGregor of assault has car set on fire
The Irish police stated: “Gardai are investigating suspected criminal damage by fire event that occurred at a residential building in Drimnagh, Dublin 12 at about 10 p.m. on Thursday, January 19, 2023.” During this occurrence, no injuries were mentioned.
I’m pretty sure this is all just coincidence, but the female who jumped from Conor McGregor‘s yacht had her car torched last week.
Dublin locals identify her as Samantha Murphy. It is well known that she has a fractured wrist and some wounds on her head.

At this time, no arrests have been made. The inquiries continue. McGregor has not been connected to the fire. According to Ms Murphy’s mother that the fire was very alarming. When someone attempted to put her daughter’s car on fire, she was with her daughter at the time.
What did Murphy say about her incident in Ibiza?
According to reports, Ms Murphy told Irish police that McGregor suddenly became aggressive, kicked and assaulted her before threatening to drown her while celebrating his birthday party. According to Periodico de Ibiza, she allegedly informed Irish police that he kicked her beneath the belly button, then struck her in the chin, before charging at her and threatening to drown her.
Ms Murphy realised she had to leave the boat as she thought he would kill her. She was convinced he would have killed her if she hadn’t gotten off the yacht. She said that a passing boat saved her as she attempted to flee by jumping into the river.
Periodico de Ibiza said that she attributed her initial reluctance to press charges in Spain to being shocked by her testimony to the Irish police. She was only wearing a bikini when she jumped in. The only thing she wanted was to get back to her hotel as soon as possible, but she had no money and no phone.
According to a court in Ibiza, an investigation has been conducted into the incident, which took place off the coast of the island of Formentera. Guardia Civil “ruled out” that Conor McGregor was the offender or even participated in the incident when the claims initially surfaced in August. The UFC fighter hasn’t been charged with any offences just yet, as is normal in Spain.
