Irish MMA fighter Sinead Kavanagh was reportedly arrested on board a Ryanair flight from Gran Canaria to Dublin after getting into a fight with two Spanish police officers. Spain’s Civil Guard responded to reports of “violent behaviour” from Kavanagh, 39, who is alleged to have “repeatedly struck” two officers while resisting arrest on board the aircraft. She was eventually restrained and detained at the airport’s holding cell. The five-time MMA champion and friend of Conor McGregor has since been released on bail following a court hearing on Monday. Footage of the incident shows police called to remove two “troublesome” women from the flight, only to become embroiled in a tussle with Kavanagh and her companion. The fighter can be seen aggressively resisting arrest and hitting the officers
