Conor McGregor may be in hot water with the Irish mob.
According to Sports Illustrated, the UFC fighter “is accused of punching a relative of a top Irish gangster during a fight at a pub on Sunday night.”
McGregor allegedly punched Graham “The Wig” Whelan’s father twice in the face.
Video released of McGregor in court to pay a speeding ticket, and he’s shown saying “Come and get me!” while driving away. Many are taking this as a mob reference.

The Irish police are not taking this lightly, and are reportedly meeting with McGregor “to tell him that there may be threats to his safety.”
