After Conor McGregor jumped into the ring last night and had a scuffle with the referee people were quick to voice their opinions on Twitter.
While there is normally a 50/50 split on his actions it was noticeable last night that the vast majority of people were harshly condemning the star.
Here are some of the reactions. What was your take on it all?
Curious in terms of last two videos I posted how Gardai view Conor McGregor. Classed as a regular member of public, got in ring he isn't allowed in, tried to attack ref, tried to get back in, hit an official, all at a major public event. That's assault, public order offence etc

Conor McGregor has really made a show of himself. If nothing else can we ever take him seriously again after he ran at that man like an angry chicken.? Never seen legs and knees move like it.

I just spoke to one of the #Bellator187 media members who was cageside (and wanted to remain anonymous). He told me Conor McGregor shouted, "You're a rat" at Marc Goddard as the melee ensued.

I'll sum this whole shove up like this: We're about to find out if Conor McGregor is bigger than the sport of MMA.

Conor McGregor is the face of MMA today. Being a guest at a show and jumping into the cage then attacking one of the most respected referees in the sport doesn’t make him a legend, it makes him an idiot. #Bellator187

Not a good night for Conor McGregor.

Tonight’s event will be overshadowed by McGregor’s actions. Not a good look for a sport that isn’t recognised by the government, and not accepted by main stream media. #Bellator187

The UFC is issuing McGregor with a heavy fine for today's actions; not because he assaulted a referee and a member of the commission but because he didn't wear any Reebok gear into the cage.
Saw a hi-res clip of McGregor/Goddard incident. McGregor’s friend Charlie Ward WINS, McGregor excitedly jumps in cage, celebrates with Ward right away. Goddard tries to clear him out of cage. McGregor takes exception and shoves Goddard. Words exchanged. McGregor escorted out.
