Conor McGregor has been branded a "scumbag lowlife" by an Irish bar owner who filmed himself pouring the former UFC champion's Proper no. Twelve whiskey down the toilet.
In a Facebook post, Sean Rice, who owns the Salty Shamrock bar in Florida, also said the Dublin born fighter is "not a true representative of the Irish people".
Rice's video came in response to the recent CCTV footage leaked by TMZ which appeared to show McGregor throwing a left fist at an older man in a Dublin pub.
"That's the lowlife there that we've all supported," said Rice to a photo of McGregor hanging just above the toilet as he prepared to flush away the $34-a-bottle liquor.
"Alright guys, get that in the toilet, cause that's where his whiskey belong right now. Proper no. Twelve to hell with it, it will never be sold at this bar."
Rice added: "That's where McGregor's whiskey belongs, the scumbag lowlife."

Dana White, the UFC's president, told "The Jim Rome Show" on Thursday that "it won't end well" for McGregor should be continue with his worrying pattern of behaviour outside the ring.
Dublin Senator Catherine Noone also told the Irish Sun that she believes McGregor should be punished heavily for the alleged incident due to his "unique ability in the area of fighting."
McGregor announced his retirement from MMA in March 2019 but is expected to return to the sport in the next year.
