Conor McGregor To Irish Organized Crime Outfit: 'Come And Get Me'
UFC superstar Conor McGregor remains brazen in the face of threats against his life from Irish criminal underworld.

Conor McGregor is making enemies out of everyone these days.
First, he attacked referee Marc Goddard at a Bellator event in Dublin earlier this month. McGregor followed up those antics by allegedly getting involved in an altercation with some Irish mobsters at his local pub this past weekend. Now, he’s an enemy of the court.
McGregor was due in court Thursday morning after being pulled over in March for driving 98 mph in a 60-mph zone. In typical McGregor fashion, "Notorious" was late to show up. Initially, McGregor failed to show, before hopping in his BMW and rushing to court — let’s hope he wasn’t speeding.
When McGregor eventually showed up, the judge was not happy.
“I’m getting nothing but fingers from Mr. McGregor,” Judge Miriam Walsh said, via mirror.co.uk (h/t MMAJunkie.com). “If he’s making a case he has to be here. This is absolute disrespect to the court. I am very annoyed with Mr. McGregor.”
Instead of showing up on time, McGregor decided to flaunt his new adidas track suit. Sorry, Reebok.
McGregor was eventually fined $471.25.
On his way out of court, McGregor was then given the opportunity to respond to the rumored threats on his life which stem from an alleged dustup with a man linked to an Irish mob boss.
McGregor’s message? “Come and get me.”

He then sped away in his BMW and went about his day. Conor McGregor, ladies and gentlemen. It’s his world and we’re just living in it. He may just want to pump the brakes a little bit, though.
