A video floating around the internet, days after the Irishman’s birthday, is getting some attraction. It appears that while ‘The Notorious’ was having a fun time at his birthday party, someone threw a hat at him. The impact of the hit was not something to be worried about.

The Irishman stared in the direction the hat came from. While he initially pointed a mocking thumbs up in their way, he soon looked down at where the hat went. Upon finding it near him, the former UFC dual champion fumingly stomped it down.

Also, he said a few words to the person who threw it at him. However, in the video, it was not audible.

Someone was capturing the clip, and it came online. McGregor fans reacted to the video and shared how they felt watching it.

“Completely acceptable and I’d do the same,” wrote a fan who understood McGregor’s case.

Another found the savageness and the funny element of ‘The Notorious’ in the little stunt, “After he pump faked the thumbs up lmao”

One fan simply noted, “i love conor,” perhaps for how the brash Irish didn’t tolerate the misbehavior.
