Famous for messing up in the UFC, the Irishman Conor McGregor created confusion even in the rival organization. The Ultimate lightweight champion invaded the cage at Bellator 187, an event held this Friday (10), in Dublin (Ireland), pushed the referee of his partner Charlie Ward's fight and attacked one of the show's stewards.

At the end of the fight after Ward's victory, McGregor jumped over the fence and jumped on his partner to celebrate. Referee Marc Goddard, responsible for mediating the fight, tried to warn him, but Conor attacked the mediator, pushed him and had to be restrained by several people, creating a huge mess (watch the video below)
The uproar caused by McGregor didn't stop there: After being removed from the cage, Conor climbed onto the fence again and, when a steward tried to remove him, the fighter slapped him in the face.
Problem history
The confusion between McGreogr and Marc Goddard is old. On October 21st, Goddard expelled the “Notorious” from his seat on the edge of the Octagon, alleging that he was dictating instructions to another teammate, Artem Lobov. According to the referee, McGregor acted as an “extra corner”, which would be an unfair advantage for Lobov.
