Conor McGregor storms cage, pushes referee at Bellator 187 after teammate's victory

Even when Conor McGregor is outside of the cage, he still ends up becoming the story.
After the Irishman was reprimanded by referee Marc Goddard for walking around the Octagon and being a distraction at UFC Gdansk last month, McGregor took things a step further at Bellator 187 by jumping into the cage and confronting Goddard after watching his training partner score a knockout victory.
It all took place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland, where Charlie Ward of Team McGregor faced John Redmond in the Spike.com preliminary card (which will air on tape delay Friday night). Ward scored a late knockout of Redmond in the closing moments of the first round and a jovial McGregor, who was not a licensed cornerman, jumped into the cage to celebrate.


After Goddard stepped in and advised the UFC lightweight champion to leave, McGregor’s excited demeanor quickly changed to one of anger. McGregor shouted back at Goddard and shoved the referee before he was escorted away and left the cage.
With all eyes on McGregor, the UFC champion took a lap and waved to all of the fans in attendance.
It is not immediately known what disciplinary action, if any, will come from this considering that McGregor wasn’t a licensed cornerman and put his hands on a referee.

good write up on this om mmajunkie.com
goes on to say because it's a case of "conor being conor". nothing more than a perfunctory fine (maybe) will happen and he'll issue a non-apology apology like the homophobic slur he dropped at Lobov's last fight. uncle dana has given him such free reign that it's a case of the ufc once saying "how high" when conor says jump. any other sport in the world you shove a ref and you're unemployed. only in the ufc can you get away with it. roy nelson got away with kicking john McCarthy in the ass after his fight, now conor goes to another organization's event, enters the cage when the fight isn't even officially over, and he wasn't even a licensed corner-man, and when he's escorted out, storms back in as the ref is checking on the injured fighter, not only knocking mark goddard over but the injured fighter who just gotten to his feet, back onto the mat. this behavior is commonplace at wwe events, so should we assume that's what mma is becoming, another staged form of entertainment "combat" and no longer an actual fight? it's sending the message once again, do whatever you wish conor, we aren't ever going to hold you responsible for your actions. what does that do to the chemistry of his team too? Conor's teammate, Charlie Ward, gets the biggest victory of his career in his hometown and here comes teammate conor mcdildo into the cage to steal the spotlight and start a ruckus and make Charlie Ward a footnote to his own victory, great teammate there leprechaun.yet another reason i can't stand this self centered egotistical phuq.
