“Notorious” caused some chaos inside the Bellator cage today, bringing many of the UFC’s fighters to social media to offer their thoughts on McGregor’s latest incident.
Bellator 187 went down today in Dublin, Ireland. During the day’s event, SBG Ireland’s Charlie Ward went toe-to-toe with John Redmond. While Conor McGregor was not in Ward’s corner today, the UFC superstar was present cage side to support his teammate.
Ward stunned the Dublin crowd with a dominant first round TKO victory over Redmond, but things did not get crazy until directly after the fight.
McGregor vaulted over the cage, slapped a commissioner in the face, had a confrontation with referee Marc Goddard and then quickly rushed in to his teammate to congratulate Ward on his big win.
Now that the chaotic incident has come to an end, UFC competitors have taken to Twitter to offer their reactions to McGregor’s recent incident. Check out what some fighters had to say below:
