Mr. Conor McGregor who was a spectator at the time, disrupted the event by scaling the cage prior to the conclusion of the bout. Mr. McGregor\u2019s conduct jeopardized the health and safety of the bout participants\u00a0by delaying necessary medical attention to the fighters that were injured during the round.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Madness in Dublin thanks to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheNotoriousMMA?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TheNotoriousMMA<\/a>!!!
