It seems like Conor McGregor is beginning to get some backlash from the Irish community over his attack on an elderly man.

Conor McGregor uncorked a shot to the head of an elderly man in an Irish bar in a dispute over whiskey — Conor’s whiskey — and TMZ Sports got this video showing the violence.
The absurd attack went down at The Marble Arch Pub in Dublin on April 6. Conor walked in and lined up cups for bar patrons … looking to buy a round of his Proper Twelve for everyone.

“He is not a true representative of the Irish people.”
A framed image of McGregor holding a tricolour and emblazoned with the words “you’ll never beat the Irish”, as well as the pub’s name, had been placed on the toilet.
Sean says “that’s the lowlife there that we’ve all supported” before telling people to pour the whiskey out “where it belongs”.
Let’s see if more Irish pubs follow the ‘Salty Shamrock’s’ example.
