One of Conor McGregor's former top Irish security personnel - who was jailed for a serious attack that left his victim out of work for six months - has launched a bid to overturn his conviction, arguing that the jury had no evidence about the functionality of a machine used to extract DNA from blood found at that scene.
Security provider Gezim Idrzi (38) of Luttrellstown Heights, Castleknock, Dublin, was found guilty last February by a jury of one count of assault causing harm but was acquitted on one count of false imprisonment of a man at GZ Security, Rosemount Business Park, Ballycoolin, Dublin 11, on February 1, 2016.
When passing sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court in February Judge Patricia Ryan said it was "a very serious assault with three people involved".
