Conor McGregor has been released from prison in Miami after being charged with strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief.

It's after the MMA star allegedly smashed a fan's phone outside a hotel yesterday.

He was leaving the Fontainbleau Hotel in Miami when a fan attempted to take a picture of him on a phone.

McGregor slapped the phone from the victim's hand, before stamping on it several times, and then walking away with it.

He was charged with "strong-arm robbery" and "misdemeanour criminal mischief", and released on a bail of 12-thousand 500 dollars.
