Conor McGregor punches elderly man in the head



https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/ufc/conormcgregor-news-marblearch-instagramtmz-ufc-18941407

The video above shows McGregor pouring three shots of the whiskey at the Marble Arch pub in Dublin on April 6 this year.

He clinks glasses with one man but another declines the offer before McGregor appears to punch the man with his left hand, Mirror.co.uk reports.

The Irishman is then dragged away as the victim staggers on his stool, much to the shock of the staff behind the bar.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conor_McGregor

Conor Anthony McGregor (Irish: Conchúr Antóin Mac Gréagóir; born 14 July 1988) is an Irish professional mixed martial artist and boxer. He is the former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) featherweight and lightweight champion. As of August 12, 2019, he is ranked #13 in UFC pound-for-pound rankings and #3 in UFC lightweight rankings.

Lots of bad boy incidents in his history.

He's plead guilty to 'disorderly conduct', before. The man has some serious anger control issues.

who think he's great stuff. I'm in the former camp. His loud mouth made him tens of millions in the MMA, and that Mayweather fight (he's not even an average boxer), but class is permanent and he has none of it.

He's a trained fighter and he used those skills against a sitting elderly man.

He's no athlete. Yeah he's got muscles and he can punch. He's a worthless thug in my book and should never make another dime.

I don't follow these sports at all so this was my first impression. Trash.
