Andy Ryan says promotion should take some blame for Conor McGregor’s antics at Bellator 187

Andy Ryan had a front row seat to all of the madness that unfolded with Conor McGregor at Bellator 187 in Dublin on Friday night.

Ryan, head coach of Team Ryano, was cornering John Redmond who was knocked out in the final second of the first round by Charlie Ward, which prompted Conor McGregor to storm the cage in celebration.

Footage revealed that McGregor shoved referee Marc Goddard and slapped a Bellator official after he emerged in the cage.

According to Ryan, event security at the arena did little to stop McGregor because the promotion wanted the Irish superstar to be featured on the broadcast of the event.
