UFC releases statement on McGregor hooliganism
“The organization deems today’s disruption completely unacceptable and is currently working on the consequences that will follow.”
Conor McGregor’s wheels have come off.
Notorious lost his damn mind and took an entourage of 15 or more fools along with him. They attacked a fighter bus, trying to get to Khabib Nurmagomedov, who had earlier in the week had words with Artem Lobov, a member of SBGi. The group of violent attackers included Lobov, who has been removed from his fight vs. Alex Caceres. That is only the beginning of the repercussions.
The UFC released their first statement on the attack.
During today’s media event at Barclays Center to promote UFC 223: Khabib vs. Holloway, Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov entered the building accompanied by over a dozen individuals.
The group, which included McGregor and Lobov, vandalized the vehicle that contained a number of athletes competing at the event taking place this weekend. NYPD was immediately alerted and is currently in the process of investigating the situation. UFC is working very closely with the New York Athletic Commission, Barclays Center security and law enforcement authorities. All parties are working together to ensure the highest standard of proper safety precautions are implemented to protect the fans and athletes.
The organization deems today’s disruption completely unacceptable and is currently working on the consequences that will follow. Immediately, Lobov has been removed from this weekend’s card and individuals involved in the incident are not welcome at tomorrow’s ceremonial weigh-in or Saturday’s event at Barclays Center.
This is only the first statement; it will not be the last.
