Conor McGregor breaks silence after flames ripped through his pub for second time
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CONOR McGregor has broken his silence following a fire ripping through his pub for a second time. Writing on social media, he posted a photo of the pub captioned "UNBEATABLE". Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Conor McGregor has broken his silence following a pub blaze Credit: Instagram 4 Workmen repair damage this morning caused by a small fire overnight to Conor McGregor's Black Forge Inn Credit: 4 Firefighters rushed to the scene last night It is the second time that a fire has ripped through the MMA fighter's Dublin bar, The Black Forge, after it was targeted in 2022. Clips show emergency services battling the blaze at the venue in Crumlin, a suburb of the Irish capital. Reacting to the scenes today, McGregor defiantly posted a video on Instagram while holidaying with his family on a boat. Before drinking from a can of Forge beer, he said: "The pub is open for business today folks. "You wouldn't get through it with a rocket launcher. She's spotless. "Up the forge!" He later posted an aerial shot of the pub, captioned: "UNBEATABLE!". It is not clear when the videos - which shows smoke rising from the pub - were taken, but Dublin Fire Brigade confirmed the fire occurred overnight. A spokesperson for the service said: "Dublin Fire Brigade was called at 3.08am to reports of a fire at a premises on the Drimnagh Road. "Firefighters from Dolphins Barn were mobilised to the address and on arrival found a small fire at the front of the building. "Using a high pressure hose reel, one fire engine dealt with the incident and no injuries were reported. "The scene was handed over to Gardai." Garda officers also attended the scene just after 3am and a probe into the blaze has been launched. A spokesman said: "Gardaí attended the scene of an incident of criminal damage at a licenced premises on the Drimnagh Road, Crumlin that occurred at approximately 3.00am on Friday, July 25. "The fire was extinguished by Dublin Fire Brigade. No injuries have been reported. "The scene is currently preserved and a technical examination will be conducted in due course. Investigations are ongoing." Pictures taken today have revealed the extent of the clear up from the fire, with workmen spotted repairing the exterior of the building. The former UFC World Champion's bar was previously targeted in January 2022. Yobs armed with petrol bombs attacked the venue just hours after the fighter had been there. At the time, cops said they were investigating attempted criminal damage. He purchased the Irish pub for roughly £2million in 2019. In a statement released after the "unprovoked" attack, The Black Forge Inn management team confirmed staff and customers had not been harmed. It read: 'After hours last night it appears that criminals made an unprovoked effort to inflict damage to the Black Forge Inn. 'There was no damage done to any patrons, employees or the Forge and Mr. McGregor was not on the premises at the time of the incident. "The gardai have opened an investigation into the event. We are open and busy as always.' A spokesperson for An Garda Siochana said: 'Gardai are investigating an incident of attempted criminal damage at a licenced premises on the Drimnagh Road, Crumlin. 'No damage was done to the premises. Gardai are appealing for witnesses in relation to this incident." The Sun has approached Dublin Fire Brigade and Garda for comment. It comes as the star was embroiled in a cheating scandal earlier this month, after being spotted cosying up to a number of women.

The 30-year-old stooped to pick it up before carefully taking it seemingly out of harm's way.

While even Sakkari couldn't help but giggle as she prepared to return serve. The commentator added: "Oh! Dear me. The ball kid didn't get the memo." Unaffected by the incident, Sakkari went on to beat Navarro 7-5 7-6 in one of her best wins of the year.

"I thought that it was pretty mature, and I was holding onto my own service games really well. I knew going into the match that Naomi has been playing good, loves the hard court. "So I was going to have to play well and manage my own service games, because she's very dangerous, hits a big ball, and serves extremely well. Very pleased with how I managed all the situations there. "Naomi is pure speed, which is very difficult to deal with, especially on these courts, where it's very lively. It was extremely important to start the point well on my serve."

Scotland star set to make shock transfer switch as he leaves England for MLS side LAFC
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RYAN PORTEOUS is the latest Scotland star who's set to up sticks for a new life in the MLS. The likes of Ryan Gauld, Lewis Morgan and Johnny Russell have all excelled themselves in the USA - and now former Hibee star Porteous is set to join them Stateside. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Ryan Porteous in action for Watford vs his old club Hibs Credit: Kenny Ramsay 2 Ryan Porteous (second left) in training with Scotland Credit: Willie Vass That's because it's being reported in various outlets that the 26-year-old from Dalkeith is joining glamour MLS outfit LAFC. The fee is said to be in the region of £850,000, plus a 50% sell-on clause with the Scotland international having two years left on his contract. LAFC, who feature Odin Thiago Holm in their ranks on-loan from Celtic, have made it to the MLS Cup final two of the last three years. Porteous had two years at Watford, after joining for a fee in the region of £450,000 back in January 2023. He spent the last six months on loan at Preston North End. He was at the peak of his powers when he blotted his copybook with a poor tackle on Germany's Ilkay Gundogan which led to a red card and saw Scotland down to ten men in their opener. He's since described the moment as the toughest of his career. The crude challenge led to a penalty which the Germans converted on their way to a thumping 5-1 victory. And - after reviewing the incident - Uefa extended the 25-year-old's ban, ruling him out of his side's two other group games. Porteous said at the time: 'It was obviously really tough, probably the hardest thing that I've ever had to go through personally. Rangers news: Watch moment Steven Gerrard explodes in rage at Hibs bench after Porteous tackle 'When we were away at the Euros, you couldn't really think of yourself that much because you still got a pretty big job to do for the team. 'You can't be sulking, you can't be feeling sorry for yourself, you've got to help the boys. 'I thought I tried to do that to the best I could, but obviously when you leave the camp it's a bit of a hit. 'But I've got a lot of good people around me, and they looked after me as well. 'I feel like I'm in a lot better place now, but as I said it was really tough.' Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
