The speculation and news surrounding Conor McGregor is very real run in with the Irish mob continues to pour in this afternoon, and now we have a reported price on how much Conor McGregor’s life is worth to his new adversaries. According to two separate reports, the Kinahan gang has set the price on McGregor’s head at a whopping $900,000.00 for his recent street-fights with known gang associates.
Now, depending on which version of the story you believe, the price tag of $900k is either due and payable from McGregor himself, or potentially the price the mafia has put on his head for anyone who murders the UFC mega-star.
Oddly, though drastic differences in outcome, the number remains the same in both instances, meaning there might be more to it than just speculation.
Once again, Twitter reporters are all over this latest development.
“Lads McGregor’s fucked,” reads a leaked text convo from an alleged Irish police officer and his friend.
“The fella he [beat] up is one of the top lads in the Kinehan gang. Graham “The Wig” Whelan. They said the wank 900k or they’ll shoot him. One of my mates is a detective over that way. Sent me that Audio and mentioned the money.”

And in the other recount of the tale, told by MMA’s own Brendan Schaub, who claims he has a credible source, that same $900k number isn’t due by Conor, but rather, is an actual hit on the UFC star’s life.
Schaub hit Joe Rogan’s podcast today with his version of the situation.
“People that I know in Dublin, and are blowing me up are saying, it’s real and Conor is in a bit of trouble…”
“They’re saying there’s a hit out on Conor for 900 grand.”
Earlier today, MMAImports was the first media outlet to get a party close to the incidents to break their silence on the matter. Though speaking in anonymity, this is what they told us about the situation with Conor McGregor.
“The guy Conor punched at the Black Forge Inn is named Ryan,” said the anonymous insider. “Ryan has two very important friends around here in two brothers named the Timmins brothers.”
“The Timmins brothers have been messing with Conor’s longtime friend named Andy, Andy is also involved with the Kinahan gang too,” he continued.
“A lot of people don’t know this, and no one is really talking about it, but Conor already had a run-in with the Timmins brothers a couple of weeks ago, and he beat them both up pretty handily, over his loyalty to Andy. Andy was present for this first incident, and well [pauses], I say it was a beating, but it wasn’t like he hospitalized the brothers or anything. Andy was involved in the scuffle too. They won, the Timmins lost, but it wasn’t really bad.
“So back to Sunday night, Ryan was at the pub and he was talking shit and defending the Timmins brothers, and that’s why Conor beat him up too, on Sunday night.
“While scuffling with Ryan, Conor also hit the father of Graham Whelan. Now, Whelan has a reputation. He’s supposedly a hitman for the Kinahan gang and not someone to be taken lightly.
“Are you following this, because I’m only going to say it once,” our insider said.
“This shit’s crazy. So, Conor is beating up Kinahan gang members, in defense of his friend Andy who is also affiliated with Kinahan.
“That’s really Conor’s saving grace, because these issues are not going to divide the Kinahan gang. They’re too strong of an organization for that. And though Conor is fighting with Kinahan guys, he’s doing it for Andy, a Kinahan guy.
“Now, it is possible that Graham will not be able to let Conor’s assault of his dad go without some sort of payment. And though it appears as if Conor struck Graham’s dad by accident, Graham has a reputation for just not giving a fuck, and could try some recourse.
“But will Graham pull rank and try to go after Conor? I don’t know. From what I know, if anyone is going to make Conor pay for what is going on, it won’t be Graham, it will be Graham’s boss, and it will likely involve money and not much else.”
“Conor is pretty loved around here, so it’s hard to say what’s next. But, that’s the story. That’s all I know.”
