McGregor clashes with referee in Dublin

Two-weight UFC champion Conor McGregor may face punishment after jumping into the cage and pushing a referee at an MMA event in Dublin.

The Irishman was watching his team-mate Charlie Ward fight John Redmond.

McGregor entered the cage at Bellator 187 to celebrate Ward’s firstround win and was ordered to leave by referee Mark Goddard.

Goddard briefly made contact with McGregor, who responded angrily and had to be restrained by security.

The 29-year old pushed Goddard and proceeded to shout and point at him before being escorted away.
