UFC president Dana White compared Conor McGregor’s most recent brush with the law to a peak Mike Tyson, indicating it’s the inevitable result of a fighter’s mindset and fame.

Appearing Thursday on “The Jim Rome Show,” White said a video that appears to show McGregor punching an elderly patron at a bar in Dublin is “pretty bad” and didn’t dispute the fighter’s behavior.

“Not allegedly, it’s pretty clear,” White said.

Video of the altercation from April appears to show McGregor pouring out drinks of his signature Proper Twelve whiskey when he stops beside an older man. Suddenly, McGregor throws a quick left hand and is pulled outside by men who appear to be in his entourage.

As MMA Junkie previously reported, police in Dublin are investigating the incident and said no arrests have been made.

White said he was aware of the event shortly after it happened, though he cautioned he didn’t know the full story. But he cited Tyson when talking about the troubles that can follow a wildly successful fighter such as McGregor, a regular on the Forbes list of richest athletes.

“When you deal with fighters, guys who fight for a living, there’s always something,” White said. “If you look at some of the greatest – Tyson – if you look what Tyson went through in his peak, every time you take a guy who is a professional fighter and you sprinkle a ton of money on top of it, get ready. Get ready for a disaster.”

Earlier this year, in March, McGregor was briefly jailed on felony charges of second-degree strongarm robbery and third-degree criminal mischief after he was caught on video slapping a cell phone out of a fan’s hand in Miami, though the charges were later dropped when the alleged victim refused to cooperate with the investigation.

The phone-smashing incident came on the heels of McGregor fulfilling his community service obligation after reaching a plea deal to avoid jail time, stemming from the infamous UFC 223 bus attack.

“You get to the point where you look at a guy like Conor, and you look at the bus incident in New York and all the other things. You look at the camera, the phone and the guy who took the picture of him in Miami when he slaps the phone. What’s the number? What’s it going to cost Conor McGregor before he decides, ‘All right, this isn’t worth it. Enough is enough. I need to stop doing this,’” White said. “The incident in New York cost him millions. Millions he had to pay out. He had to pay the guy with the phone. What’s he going to pay this guy that he hit in the bar? The list just goes on and on. I just don’t know when he wakes up and says, ’I’ve got to stop doing this.’”

White added, “I don’t know (how this ends for Conor McGregor). We’ve all seen this story before. This isn’t new. We saw this movie, we read this book – whatever the deal is. If you stay down that path it definitely doesn’t end well. But McGregor is a guy – what’s crazy is Conor McGregor is a smart kid. He’s a very smart kid. He’s financially set himself up, he’s made some really good moves business-wise, and he’s made a lot of money. He owns this whiskey company that’s killing it, and he’s going to continue to make a lot of money. I don’t know. He’s a father now; he’s got a kid. At some point you have to say, ‘I need to stop punching people in the face illegally.’ Just do it for money.”

White has said he wants to see what happens in the UFC lightweight division before booking McGregor’s return to the octagon. In September, undisputed champ Khabib Nurmagomedov – who submitted the Irish star last October – faces interim titleholder Dustin Poirier. A lightweight fight between Nate Diaz and ex-champ Anthony Pettis could also provide direction on McGregor’s next move.

White said McGregor first and foremost wants a rematch with Nurmagomedov after their blockbuster showdown at UFC 229.
