According to reports from TMZ, who also released the video, the assault occurred as a result of an elderly bar patron declining McGregors offer to drink the former UFC champions own brand of whiskey. In the video McGregor can be seen pouring what is deemed to be his Proper 12 Whiskey to patrons at the bar, but when one man declines, he gets receives a punch in the face. McGregor is then dragged out of the bar by two other patrons.
According to the UFC, Dublin police investigated the incident, but no charges have been pressed.
No stranger to controversy
Unfortunately McGregor’s name hasn’t been in headlines to due fight news. He hasn’t fought since October of last year when he was submitted by arch rival Khabib Nurmagomedov in the main event of UFC 229. From the infamous bus attack during the UFC 223 media day to him assaulting a Belltor official, McGregor has quickly become one of the most controversial fighters in the modern era of the UFC.
