Thirty-nine-year-old Sinead Kavanagh caused a disturbance on a Ryanair flight from Gran Canaria to Dublin as the plane was preparing for takeoff. Spanish police boarded the plane to subdue the passenger, but the female MMA fighter fought back forcefully. 
According to media reports, the Irishwoman spent the night in a police cell and appeared in court on Tuesday. Two Civil Guard officers are currently on sick leave due to their injuries.
Kavanagh, a featherweight fighter and Conor McGregor's girlfriend, has been released on bail. 
One local newspaper, Atlántico Hoy, published video of the incident in the aisle of the plane involving Kavanagh. The recording features a woman screaming in English as she resists two police officers. One of the Civil Guard officers was identified as a woman.
Another outlet, Canarias 7, reported that the pilot called the police because the crew was unable to cope with Kavanagh's aggressive behavior.
"When the police arrived, she aggressively resisted and struck them several times." As a result, the officers sustained injuries and were forced to take sick leave."
Sinead was only able to be removed from the car when backup arrived; four police officers got into a patrol car with her.
Sinead Kavanagh, from Inchicore, a suburb of Dublin, has won five Irish boxing titles. She competed alongside Katie Taylor for the Irish national team at the 2021 World Championships.
After losing several fights, she retired from boxing to pursue MMA. In March 2022, she was ranked No. 10 in the women's featherweight division by Fight Matrix.
