After being involved in an altercation with 50-year-old Des Keogh back in 2019, Conor McGregor has allegedly purchased the bar in which the confrontation took place. He then proceeded to bar the man from the bar, making McGregor’s purchase of this bar slightly more special than his other establishments. McGregor took to Twitter to announce the purchase, adding ‘Ye, and your mans barred’.

Footage released in 2019 showed how the incident occurred, with McGregor striking the 50-year-old after he refused to take a drink from McGregor’s own Proper No.12 whiskey twice. McGregor later admitted to assaulting the man in court, and apologised, being fined €1000 (£860).
