John Redmond says Conor McGregor ‘overshadowed’ his Bellator bout, influenced stoppage vs. Charlie Ward

John Redmond and Charlie Ward’s fight was the talk of the MMA world for all the wrong reasons Friday night when Conor McGregor scaled the fence in celebration with his SBG teammate, Ward, following his knockout in the final second of the first round.

McGregor shoved referee Marc Goddard and slapped a Bellator official who tried to push him from the cage on his second attempt to gain entry.

At one stage, while pursuing Goddard across the canvas, McGregor appeared to cause the defeated Redmond to stumble. Redmond seemed to be still feeling the affect of the left hand that sent him down at the end of the first round.
