UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor is in the midst of a real-life scandal with the Irish drug cartel known as The Kilahan Gang. In the midst of all the turmoil, Conor McGregor had court in Ireland this morning for a speeding violation and the nation’s media was in attendance. While leaving the courthouse Conor McGregor broke his silence on the incident and told the Kinahan Gang, “Come and get me.”
The comment came on the heels of one reporter asking him to respond to the threats on his life.

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.”
The above statements from veteran criminal reporter Paul William’s came via a radio show called Newstalk Breakfast, from Wednesday morning’s broadcast.
