Conor McGregor was caught on video punching an elderly man over a dispute about whiskey.
On Thursday, TMZ posted the April 6 footage showing the MMA fighter walking into The Marble Arch Pub in Dublin, Ireland. At the bar, the boxer lined up cups for patrons, and treated customers to a round of his Proper Twelve liquor.

However, when the athlete put a cup in front of one particular guy — he refused, twice.
While it is unclear if words were exchanged, after the 31-year-old downed a shot, he unexpectedly punched the man in the face!
After the fight, two people immediately grabbed the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, and pulled him out of the bar.
At the time, the alleged crime was reported to cops — who later announced they opened an investigation.
Fast forward to Thursday, Ireland police are still looking into the incident — adding “no arrests have been made to date.”

Of course, this is not the first time McGregor has been in trouble with the law.
In March of this year, he was arrested for robbery and criminal mischief after allegedly smashing a fan’s phone outside the Fontainebleau hotel in Miami Beach.
Reportedly, McGregor and the fan walked out of the hotel at the same time when the phone owner tried to take a pic. Allegedly, Conor slapped the phone out of the victim’s hand, causing it to fall to the ground.
The Irishman is claimed to have stomped on the phone several times, damaging it. Cops say McGregor then picked up the phone and walked away with it.
The whole scene was reportedly caught on surveillance footage.
Eventually, the charges were dropped, and the two settled.
As we reported in April 2018, McGregor faced multiple charges — including three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief — after he was caught on video smashing a window on a moving bus in NYC.
The bus carrying multiple MMA fighters was leaving the parking structure at the Barclays Center when McGregor and his crew allegedly chased it down and attacked it as it kept rolling away. ESPN reports UFC fighter Michael Chiesa was injured in the incident, suffering several cuts to the face.
At the time, UFC president Dana White called McGregor and his entourage “thugs,” adding:
“It’s disgusting, and I don’t think anybody is gonna be huge Conor McGregor fans after this. I don’t know if he’s on drugs, or what his deal is. But to come and do this and act like this? You’re talking about a guy who has a baby, he just had a kid. This is how you’re acting? You have a son at home.”
He ended up pleading guilty to a disorderly conduct charge, and was sentenced to three days of anger management courses, and five days of community service.
