Conor McGregor responds to fire at pub with 'rocket-launcher' claim
Conor McGregor's Forge pub was ablaze on Friday morning but the UFC star - who is on holiday on his yacht - has taken to social media to reassure patrons Conor McGregor insists a rocket-launcher wouldn't stop his pub opening after a fire broke out at the Dublin venue. The Forge pub was surrounded by black smoke as flames licked the venue on Friday morning as the emergency services raced to the boozer. But McGregor, who is holidaying with his family, took to social media to play down the incident. "The pub is open for business today, folks," he said. "You wouldn't get through with a rocket-launcher. There's not a bother on her, she's spotless. Up The Forge." McGregor went on to demand a can of his Irish stout from his fiancee Dee Devlin before cracking it open on his boat and raising a toast. "The breakfast of champions, ladies and gentlemen," he added, before deleting his post. McGregor's pub, which was targeted with petrol bombs in 2022, is a popular spot for celebrities with rapper 50 Cent among recent visitors. McGregor himself often attends the pub and poses for photos with fans. But the Irishman has been engulfed in controversy recently after being pictures kissing a mystery woman in Florida. Photos were also published of the pair having dinner before McGregor was reunited with his fiancee as they sailed in Sardinia. Former two-weight world champion McGregor has not fought since he broke his leg in the first round of his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in 2021. His only win since 2016 came five years ago when he obliterated Donald Cerrone inside 40 seconds. The Dubliner was due to return to the cage last summer when he was scheduled to fight Michael Chandler but McGregor pulled out two weeks before the fight with a broken toe and the bout was never rescheduled. It could finally take place next summer as part of US President Donald Trump's ambitious plan to host a UFC event in the grounds of The White House. McGregor claims he has returned to the UFC's drug-testing pool and plans to fight again. "They're testing me. I'm in the pool. I thought that's what the pools were for, jumping in and out, but I'm back in the pool," he told The Schmo. "So get ready and stay ready because damage will be done. Oval office. White House card."

Terrifying moment referee sprints to help unconscious MMA star and urgently calls for help after sickening KO
JUST IN TIME Terrifying moment referee sprints to help unconscious MMA star and urgently calls for help after sickening KO Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN MMA referee had to sprint over and help an unconscious fighter after he was brutally knocked out. Amir Hossein took on Abdelkrim Zouad at UAE Warriors 62 in Abu Dhabi. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 A ref had to sprint over and help an unconscious fighter after he was brutally knocked out And the bout finished in the third round when Hossein unleashed a flurry of punches with his finishing right hand dropping Zouad. Hossein managed to land just one blow while Zouad was on the floor as the quick-thinking ref ran over to end the fight. It saved Zouad from taking any unnecessary damage - with Hossein improving to 4-1 in the cage. But refs do not always get it right. UFC boss Dana White criticised official Kerry Hatley after he allowed Jalin Turner to land a succession of unanswered blows against Bobby Green in December 2023. Turner landed blows for ten seconds before Hatley intervened. White called the stoppage: 'One of the worst I've ever seen." He added: 'The difference is we've had some refs say some dumb s*** in the past like, 'Oh, I allowed her to be a warrior tonight,' and goofy s*** like that. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS 'He knows that he made a mistake tonight and he does not feel good about it. So it's unfortunate. Definitely a bad stoppage. Very bad.' UFC legend Daniel Cormier - now a commentator - had a similar sentiment. He called it: "One of the absolute worst stoppages in MMA history."
