Watch: Conor McGregor Jumps Cage, Makes Run At Ref At Bellator 187
UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor jumped the cage and made a run at referee Marc Goddard during Bellator 187.
UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor was in attendance for Bellator 187 on Friday afternoon in Dublin to cheer on his teammate Charlie Ward.
After Ward came away with a first-round victory over John Redmond at 3Arena, McGregor jumped into the cage to celebrate.
Then, it all went wrong.
McGregor got in the face of referee Marc Goddard, who last month sent McGregor back to his seat at UFC Gdansk during Artem Lobov's fight. On Friday, McGregor had to be restrained as he continued to go after Goddard.

McGregor eventually left the cage, but returned to once again make a run at Goddard. The Irishman was seen pushing Goddard before being ejected from the arena.

We will have to see if McGregor is punished by the UFC for his actions in the cage.
Bellator 187 is headlined by a fight between A.J. McKee and Brian Moore and will air on Spike TV via tape delay beginning at 9 PM ET.
