Fans, Dana White and other MMA stars are still in Shock after Conor McGregor and his team stormed the UFC 223 media event in Brooklyn this afternoon, smashing up a bus and injuring fighter Michael Chiesa in the process.
Mcgregor was in New York to support his teammate, Artem Lobov, who was set to face Alex Caceres at UFC 223, now been pulled from his UFC 223 fight. He wanted to get to Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team, who had roughed up McGregor friend and training partner Artem Lobov earlier in the week.
Instead, McGregor set off a firestorm of controversy in what Dana White is calling the most despicable moment in the history of the UFC.
But as far as McGregor arch-rival Nate Diaz is concerned, this is just how normally things roll when you get gangster with another legit gangster.
He shouldn't have been trying to punk his boy when he was alone, like a bully. Then he expects not to get rolled on fukn rookie..
And then stay on the bus

”(Khabib) shouldn’t have been trying to punk his boy [Artem] when he was alone, like a bully,” Diaz wrote. “Then he expects not to get rolled on, f**king rookie.”
”And then stay on the bus! Haha, u guys got punked!”
