Video: Conor McGregor arrested for Barclays Center bus attack
The MMA superstar was arrested and is expected to be charged with assault
after he was seen on video attacking a bus attempting to leave the Barclays
Center.
The video shows McGregor and his entourage attacking the bus and hurling
objects through the bus windows, leaving fighter Michael Chiesa cut up and
bloodied,according to a TMZ
report.
One of the people with McGregor then tossed a chair through the front
windshield of the bus, and McGregor was restrained attempting to do the
same.
MMA fighters were at the Barclays Center for a media session ahead of
Saturday’s UFC 223, where McGregor was supposed to fight Artem Lobov.
Following the altercation, that fight won't be happening.
"The organization deems today’s disruption completely unacceptable and is
currently working on the consequences that will follow," the UFC said in a statement. "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.”
White said Wednesday that Saturday’s fight will mark the end of the inactive
McGregor’s title as lightweight champion. White called Thursday's
attack "criminal, disgusting and it makes me sick," according to USA Today.
McGregor was none too thrilled with White’s announcment about losing his
lightweight title, tweeting early Thursday
morning that “You’s’ll strip me of nothing you’s do nothing c--ts.”
