BREAKING: Conor McGregor Attacks Bus at Barclays Center, NYPD Actively Searching For Him

Following the UFC 223 media day, Conor McGregor and his crew arrived at the Barclays Center, attacking a departing bus filled with UFC talent, and in the process, injuring one.

Michael Chiesa has reportedly suffered lacerations to his face from objects being thrown at the bus windows, breaking the glass, resulting in injury.

Many are speculating this stemmed from Khabib Nurmagomedov and Artem Lobov’s hallway despite from earlier this week, where McGregor seemed unhappy with what had happened, and stormed the ending of the event to assist in some sort of revenge.

Felice Herrig (who’s fighting on UFC 223) first posted a video of the occurring event, then posted to other social media outlets.
