UFC: When Conor McGregor attacked Khabib Nurmagomedov’s bus and left everyone injured

Before squaring off inside the octagon, Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov did everything they could to sustain their heated rivalry. In one such instance, Conor McGregor threw metal objects at a bus which was carrying many UFC fighters including the lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov. Though Khabib was left unharmed, many fighters got injured due to the infamous incident and they were forced to pull out from their respective fights.

Welterweight contender Michael Chiesa faced a deep cut on his forehead as the metal object banged the glass window. Michal Chiesa was sitting just beside the window and he got injured as soon as the glass shattered. Apart from injuries, the entire arena was filled with fear and anxiety. Very few people had a clue about what was going on. However, security personnel managed to eradicate Conor McGregor from the scenario and brought back things to normalcy.
