#1 Conor McGregor punches an old man in a bar
Very few people can offer a proper explanation for why Conor McGregor does what he does on a regular basis. The fighter recently put forward his own brand of whiskey -- Proper 12. Ever since then, he has not hesitated to market the product for everyone to see.
So, when an old man refused his offer for a drink of Conor's whiskey, McGregor saw red. He assaulted the elderly gentleman in the bar, hitting him with a straight left. The man surprisingly was not that affected by the punch, and Conor was taken away from him.
The incident took place in April, although the video only surfaced recently.
This is the most recent in a long line of incidents involving McGregor -- with him attacking and breaking the phone of a fan a few months back coming to mind.
It seems Conor McGregor might have avoided trouble on this one, but coming on the back of the dolly attack on the bus, UFC 229, and the incident with smashing the fan's phone, McGregor might need to calm down before he does something irrevocable.
