Bellator Dublin: Conor McGregor tries to climb cage to celebrate Peter Queally victory over Ryan Scope

Conor McGregor leapt from his ringside seat to celebrate with SBG teammate Peter Queally following his victory over Ryan Scope at Bellator Dublin.

The UFC star watched on as his teammate sealed a huge second round TKO win over Scope in the Irish capital on Friday night.

Queally was dropped early in the first round but responded emphatically, flooring his opponent with some heavy shots before finishing him off on the ground.

A jubilant McGregor met Queally at the top of the cage in celebration, prevented from climbing over to join him in the cage by security.

James Gallagher, another star fighting out of John Kavanagh's Straight Blast Gym, headlined the Dublin card, submitting Roman Salazar via guillotine choke inside 30 seconds in front of a raucous home crowd.

After his impressive win, 'The Strabanimal' climbed over the cage to share the moment with teammate McGregor, with the two embracing as the show closed.

London's Michael 'Venom' Page also featured on the card, securing a devastating first round win over Richard Kiely.
