White: Most disgusting incident in UFC history
Dana White: “I don’t know if he’s on drugs or what his deal is, but to come and do this and act like this?”
Conor McGregor and his entourage lost their minds today, physically attacking a fighter bus, apparently because Khabib Nurmagomedov was on board. Earlier in the week ‘The Eagle’ had had a verbal altercation with McGregor’s SBGi teammate Artem Lobov, which may have factored into the violence. The bus’s windows were broken, and at least once fighter, Michael Chiesa, was cut by the broken glass.
It is believed that Chiesa will be able to fight. Lobov has been pulled from the card, as he was reportedly part of the mob attack. McGregor’s future is in doubt.
ESPN’s Brett Okamoto spoke with UFC president Dana White who was utterly disgusted by the violence.
You want to grab 30 f***ing friends and come down here and do what you did today? said White. It’s disgusting. And I don’t think anybody is going to be huge Conor McGregor fans after this. I don’t know if he’s on drugs or what his deal is, but to come and do this and act like this?

The police are reportedly seeking McGregor for questioning.
