Conor McGregor bars Paul McGrath from his pub after mocking his alcohol struggle

Conor McGregor has barred Irish football legend Paul McGrath from his pub after mocking him for his lengthy battle with alcoholism.

The pair are both legendary Irish sportsmen, with McGrath winning 83 caps for his country throughout an iconic career while McGregor is a two-weight world champion in the famously difficult featherweight and lightweight divisions. However, the fighter has found himself in a bitter social media spat with the former footballer as he feuds with comedian PJ Gallagher.

McGrath came out in defence of Gallagher on Sunday afternoon after McGregor took aim at the comedian over a joke he had made a few days prior. The former Manchester United defender slammed the UFC star as a "bully" and insisted that Gallagher was "loved by everyone".
