Not really sure how exactly this happened but I believe McGregor pissed off some guy in the Irish underworld very recently via an incident at a local bar/pub. Seen a few articles about this but the link seems to be an amalgamation of a few of them. He's one of the most famous fighters in the world currently - any thoughts/comments?

'Conor McGregor Shouts Come and Get Me Amid Rumored Threats From Irish Mob'

With rumors swirling that Conor McGregor may be in danger of retribution from an Irish crime family, the UFC star issued an apparent invitation on Thursday: Come and get me!

McGregor is accused of punching a relative of a top Irish gangster during a fight at a pub on Sunday night, according to Irish media. The mob boss in question is Graham The Wig Whelan, a lieutenant in the Kinahan crime cartel. McGregor attempted to assault another young man in the pub and ended up punching a man believed to be Whelans father twice in the face, the Irish Independent reported.

McGregor was in court on Thursday in Dublin for a speeding ticket, where a judge ordered him to pay a fine of 400 ($476). He sped away from the courthouse in his BMW, shouting out the window Come and get me!

Irish police are reportedly taking the threats against McGregor somewhat seriously. Veteran Irish crime reporter Paul Williams, the author of several books on organized crime in Ireland, said on his radio program Wednesday morning that he was told police would be approaching McGregor to tell him that there may be threats to his safety.

Bump

I'm not gonna enjoy the downfall of McGregor. I really liked him and his persona when it was a persona, and not his actual personality.

Now, they're blended. This is how all the greats start to tumble.

They won't do jack shit to him. McGregor is the pride of Ireland.

You don't know what real gangsters are like, especially when it comes to people messing with their families. They have a reputation to uphold, and if one person can mess with their family and get away with it, their rivals will be the next ones to try it. They're also the people with the knowledge and the resources to get away with murder.

Yeah maybe taking out regular folk, but McGregor is a public figure.

I'd be having someone else start my car for me if I were him.

If he was really worried he could just hand over a grip of money. They would be fucked if they tried anything though especially with it being so public now.
---

I have a new found respect for him if he's taking down literal criminals.

Eh, I think youre trying to apply logical thought to convicted gangsters. Personal pride/rep trumps almost everything for them.
