Conor McGregor forced to flee funeral after brawl breaks out at pub

Conor McGregor was forced to flee his aunt’s funeral after a brawl broke out at the pub where the service was being held.

The Saddle Club issued a statement on the incident, saying that McGregor “was courteous, polite and well mannered to all our staff and members when in communal areas through the time he was here, taking pictures, signing autographs and donating to certain charities on behalf of the family.”

The statement also said that the pub “will not be commenting on any speculation regarding persons attending a private function.”

Police are investigating the incident and no arrests have been made at this time.

McGregor took to social media to address the incident, saying that he was “upset” by the actions of certain people at the funeral. He also said that he was “not a target” and that he would “not be intimidated.”

This is not the first time that McGregor has been involved in a controversy. In 2018, he was arrested in Miami for punching a man in the face at a bar. He was also arrested in 2019 for throwing a dolly at a bus carrying UFC fighters.

McGregor has been criticized for his behaviour, but he has also been defended by some fans who say that he is just a “passionate” fighter.

It remains to be seen what the long-term consequences of this incident will be for McGregor. However, it is clear that he is a polarizing figure who continues to generate headlines.
