VIDEO: Oh nothing to see here, just Conor McGregor in Rio using Jose Aldo’s face as a dartboard

Not the best way to make friends in Brazil

Say what you will about Conor McGregor but the man’s no coward.

The Irish featherweight phenom has swapped the gloves for the tungsten in Rio de Janeiro, using a photograph of 145lb champion Jose Aldo as his target.

To be fair, it did take place in an Irish pub and it sounded like “The Notorious” had a fair few fans around him but we wouldn’t recommend him taking his game to the Rio streets.

McGregor is in Brazil to start the media world tour with Aldo as the pair look to hype their featherweight meeting at July’s UFC 189 and if this is the beginning, we reckon we’re in for two weeks of some quality McGregor high jinks.
