Conor McGregor Cryptically Confirms Assaulting Cartel Member In Strange New Video Post

Sunday night in Dublin, eye-witnesses to an assault at a pub hit social media to report that UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor had punched a man out. Early Tuesday morning, the Irish Media reported that a, "Well-known Irish celebrity punches cartel associate in Dublin pub." The Irish report stopped short of naming Conor McGregor as the person responsible for the assault, only naming him as an "Irish Celebrity". In their report they stated, A well-known Irish celebrity has assaulted a close associate of a senior Kinahan cartel henchman in a south Dublin pub. During the row, a man in his 50s with close links to convicted drug dealer Graham 'The Wig' Whelan (35) was punched. Gardaí are aware of the incident, which happened on Sunday night, but no complaint has yet been made. It is understood the sports star attempted to assault another young man in the pub, when Whelan's associate attempted to intervene before being punched twice in the face. This man, aged in his late 50s, has been described as a "completely innocent" individual who has no involvement in criminality. He is also understood to have punched another young man once in the head during the melee. This individual was then ushered out of the pub and was driven away from the scene. So, if the eye-witness reports naming Conor McGregor coupled with this Irish media report were not enough to convince you of Conor's recent bar fight, McGregor just made sure any sceptics out there are aware it was indeed him. Taking to his verified Instagram after the Irish media's report went live, the UFC lightweight champion posted a cryptic selfie-video. However, it's not the video that gives us the smoking gun confirmation, it's Conor's caption, which reads, "The celebrity" All but confirming that he is the man the Irish media is referring to.
