With this week’s Conor McGregor headline takeover of his real-life run in with the Irish drug Cartel, we thought those following the story would like to know just how bold the characters are that he’s going up against. In the video featured in this article, Irish Cartel members dressed as Irish police opened fire at a Dublin boxing event, murdering a man linked to Conor McGregor, who they had a problem with.
It’s a dark and troubling reality of what these Irish cartels are capable of, and just how far they’re willing to go to exact revenge on anyone they see fit. And under today’s state of affairs, this story is all the more relevant.
The man the Irish Cartel murdered is named David Byrne, Byrne is a known associate of Conor McGregor, who is also linked to the Irish Cartels. And though we don’t know how connected the UFC lightweight champion is to organized crime, the latest series of events would lead you to believe, heavily.
You mix the recent events, with the 2016 public murder of Byrd, and it’s only more cause for concern for the UFC lightweight mega-star.
Earlier this week, 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.”
