Conor McGregor always knows how to stir things up, though it’s unclear if he understands that there are certain lines of propriety we shouldn’t cross.
The UFC star was in attendance at Bellator 187 Friday in Dublin, Ireland and was thrilled to see his teammate Charlie Ward win in the first-round over John Redmond. He leaped into the cage to celebrate but, for some reason, instead of simply cheering on his mate he started attacking the ref, Marc Goddard.

After leaving the cage initially, McGregor went back in and attacked Goddard some more.

This isn’t the first time McGregor and Goddard have gotten into it. The ref sent McGregor back to his seat at UFC Gdansk for not acting in a professional manner while acting as a corner man. In fact, he actually stopped the fight to do it.

We’re betting the Irish fighter has been holding onto that grudge ever since.
