Conor McGregor in Trouble With Irish Mafia

Conor McGregor does what the fook he wants. Unless he wants to punch an Irish cartel member in the face. Then, he probably should not do what the fook he wants.

A rumor came out earlier this week that McGregor got into a bar fight in Ireland, where he allegedly punched multiple people. One of those men may have been an associate of a senior Kinahan cartel member. The Kinahan cartel, based out of Dublin, have ties to “Colombian and Mexican Cartels as well as the Russian Mafia.” The cartel are reportedly seeking $900K from McGregor, or they’re going to shoot him.

The news started out as just a rumor on Reddit, but has picked up a lot of steam in recent days. Irish crime reporter Paul Williams weighed in on McGregor’s options (via Balls.ie):

Conor McGregor is in a very dangerous place at the moment. He has come into conflict through probably no fault of his own, with a group of very, very dangerous people who are tied up with the Kinahans. These people do not care who Conor McGregor is, what he stands for, how powerful he is, they will drag him down into the cesspit.

I would say, in the next 48 hours, if he still in the country – and I understand that he may have left the country – but if he is still in the country, I understand from my sources that the Garda will be approaching him to give him a GIM form, which is a Garda Information Message, to tell him that there may be threats to his safety. This is a huge story, and imagine what it would do to our reputation if this national sporting icon is attacked by a bunch of gangsters.

McGregor might be an icon in Ireland, but based on every gangster flick I’ve ever seen, that s**t doesn’t matter. Even if the only truthful part of this story is that McGregor got into a bar fight, that’s still a terrible look for a guy of McGregor’s status.

It shouldn’t be a surprise that he’s out of control. He’s made millions of dollars being out of control.

The magnitude of this threat either hasn’t hit McGregor, isn’t real to begin with, or he truly doesn’t give a fook.

That’s McGregor leaving an Irish courthouse, where he had to pay a fine for speeding. He’s not exactly making his whereabouts a secret.

All of this is just another ploy by McGregor so he doesn’t have to defend his lightweight title.
