Irishman Doesn't Handle His Liquor or Insults Well
The man punched by Conor McGregor after refusing to taste his whiskey told him: “I don’t want to drink that s**t.”
The shocking video seems to show the UFC star punching an elderly drinker in the head after he declined a shot of his whiskey. Dramatic footage shows McGregor greeting people sitting by the counter of Dublin’s Marble Arch pub on April 6. The Crumlin fighter, holding a bottle of his own brand Proper No. Twelve whiskey, puts glasses down on the bar including one for the man.
But the drinker lifts the glass away and sets it down forcefully on the counter. McGregor stares at the man before setting another glass in front of him. But the man again moves it away and puts it on the counter, shooing McGregor away with his hand. McGregor pours three drinks and clinks glasses with his aquaintances. Then raises his left arm, seeming to flex his muscles, before stepping back and punching the man on the side of his head.
The multimillionaire fighter is dragged away as the victim remains on his stool, much to the shock of staff.
A source said yesterday: “The fella McGregor offered a drink to said, ‘I don’t want to drink that s**t--I don’t want your drink,’ and McGregor wasn’t happy. And sure that was the end of it – then he swung for him.”
The source added he believes McGregor often visited the pub with friends. He said: “I’m told when he has a few [drinks] in him he can get hyper. As far as I know he hasn’t been in touch with the pub since it all happened. It happened back in April.”
The source also agreed it was mysterious how the CCTV has now been released and understands gardai have been investigating. He added: “It was stupid and maybe the man should have just passed the drink on to someone else and just thanked him.”
Gardai confirmed at the time that they were investigating the incident. In April, a source said: “There was a bit of a commotion, [McGregor] was acting the mick and there was an incident.
“The man that was allegedly assaulted is from Ballyfermot and drinks in the pub a good bit.”
