Bellator 187 has been the talk of the week as Conor McGregor jumped the cage, shoved referee Marc Goddard, and slapped a Bellator official during his wild celebration with teammate Charlie Ward, who knocked out John Redmond at the end of the first round.
According to Redmond, though, who was almost knocked over by McGregor when the Irishman charged at Goddard, the fight would have gone into the second round if not for ‘The Notorious’s’ wild antics in the cage.
“I think there was a lot of panic in the ring as soon as he [McGregor] got in there,” Redmond told Peter Carroll of MMA Fighting shortly after the incident.
