Things got crazy in a hurry earlier today (Thurs., April 5, 2018) during the UFC 223 media day festivities after Conor McGregor — along with 30 of his crew members — attacked a bus full of fighters in an attempt to presumably get at Khabib Nurmagomedov.
See the raw footage here.
Innocent bystanders were affected as Micheal Chiesa suffered facial lacerations during the whole ordeal and had to hit the local hospital, and Rose Namajunas narrowly avoided getting struck by a chair. Meanwhile, Artem Lobov — who was part of the goon squad — was yanked from the event by Dana White.
Naturally, Twitter was set ablaze by the crazy events.

Even Jon Jones thinks that Conor McGregor needs to get his life together.

Disgusting. We need to rid the sport of fools like this. Back to being a plumbers apprentice you go!

Today's winner is Brock Lesnar. His asking price just went way up.

Totally the actions of someone who surely wants to remain under UFC contract and not to promote his own fights under his own banner.

Just spoke to a spokesman for the NYPD. There is no warrant out for Conor McGregor’s arrest at this time, he said. They are, though, looking for him and want to speak with him, the spokesman said. No one has filed charges against McGregor at this moment.

Dana White just met with Rose Namajunas, who was nearly hit and walked back to hotel. Tells me she’s doing better. Chiesa is still in the hospital.
