Conor McGregor makes frantic getaway from Merseyside pub after aunt's funeral

Conor McGregor made a swift escape from a Merseyside pub after attending his aunt's funeral on Tuesday.

The UFC icon shared a series of snaps from his trip to Liverpool on Instagram after his aunt, Pamela, passed away last month.

McGregor paid tribute to his late family member in the caption, writing: "Pamela McGregor. Woah," posting pictures of himself suited and booted surrounded by friends and family.

However, fans were left baffled after a video emerged of him storming out of a pub on the Wirral and being promptly driven away in a black Land Rover. You can watch the footage below.

The clip, which has since gone viral Twitter, showed fans calling his name when he left The Saddle Club in Birkenhead, but the Irishman refused to acknowledge anyone, instead choosing to keep his head down.

There has been no explanation as to why McGregor was in such a hurry, but his exit came on the same night that Merseyside Police responded to an incident at the pub.

In a statement to Mirror Fighting, the department said: "We were called to The Saddle pub in Prenton, Wirral, at 7.50pm last night, Tuesday, July 18, to reports of an altercation.

"Officers attended the pub and spoke to a number of people. Further enquiries are being carried out to establish what has taken place but at this stage no complaints have been made and nobody has been arrested."
