Conor McGregor was essentially playing a fourth cornerman for Artem Lobov at today’s UFC Fight Night 118. Referee Marc Goddard, however, wasn’t having it. UFC lightweight champ McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC), who is a teammate of Lobov (13-14-1 MMA, 2-4 UFC) at SBG Ireland in Dublin, arrived at Ergo Arena in Gdansk, Poland, just minutes before his close friend stepped in the cage for his UFC Fight Pass-streamed featherweight bout with Andre Fili (17-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC). From the moment the fight began, McGregor was enthusiastically shouting instructions at Lobov. “The Notorious” circled the octagon to get the best position to coach, and Goddard eventually took notice. Goddard stopped the fight in the middle of the action and told McGregor to “act professional” and return to his seat.
