Controversy seems to follow Conor McGregor everywhere. ‘The Notorious’ was allegedly involved in an altercation recently, at a bar in Birkenhead after attending his paternal aunt’s funeral in the UK. Meanwhile, the police have stepped in and are actively investigating what happened during the incident.

The former UFC double champion joined his family and friends to attend his aunt Pamela McGregor’s funeral (she passed away a few weeks ago).

The police are now trying to piece things together.

Police are investigating the pub brawl involving Conor McGregor

The Merseyside police are actively investigating to find out what happened at The Saddle Club in Birkenhead. They were called to the pub at around 7:50 PM local time after the reports of a scuffle emerged. The police released a statement regarding the incident, claiming that the investigations are still ongoing. They said, “Officers attended the pub and spoke to a number of people.”

Besides, they are still trying to understand what transpired at The Saddle Club. There are no complaints and the authorities haven’t arrested anyone yet. The police added, “Further enquiries are being carried out to establish what has taken place, but at this stage, no complaints have been made and nobody has been arrested.”

Why was it necessary for ‘The Notorious’ to leave the pub?

The Merseyside Police also issued a statement regarding Conor McGregor rushing out of the bar, which was apparent in the viral video. They claim that it was necessary for him to leave the scene to avoid garnering any form of unnecessary attention. The police said, “Mr. McGregor’s security detail decided it necessary to leave to avoid unnecessary speculation and attention.”

However, the owner of The Saddle Bar weighed in on the incident. They clarified what transpired in the pub in a statement, claiming that McGregor was indeed present there with his security. However, he showed no signs of misconduct. Rather, the Irishman appeared to be polite and acted like a gentleman. There were some other pub goers who pushed the wrong buttons on McGregor. Instead of getting into a scuffle, the former double champion chose to leave.
