Back in 2017, UFC star Conor McGregor found himself in some controversy after getting into a physical altercation with referee Marc Goddard at Bellator 187 in Dublin, Ireland.

McGregor stormed the cage to celebrate teammate Charlie Ward’s knockout victory over John Redmond, and the Irishman ended up shoving Goddard during the frenzy.

According to a recent tweet by ‘The Notorious, however, McGregor and Goddard have a history dating back to 2012 when McGregor submitted Dave Hill to win the Cage Warriors featherweight title at Cage Warriors 47.

McGregor posted the following tweet on Sunday afternoon, blasting Goddard for his ‘horrendous’ and ‘crazy’ behavior in the cage.
