Conor McGregor is undoubtedly one of the biggest stars of MMA. Apart from his stupendous skills, he is also infamous for notorious activities outside the cage. His infamous ‘hand-truck thrown into bus window’ incident caused one of the UFC fighters, Michael Chiesa, to miss his bout at UFC 223. Chiesa had also filed a lawsuit against ‘Mystic Mac’ regarding this incident back in 2018. But, it took 4 long years as both parties settled this lawsuit recently in the New York Supreme Court.
McGregor, along with a lot of his friends, had come after Khabib Nurmagomedov following his altercation with McGregor’s then-friend Artem Lobov. Nurmagomedov was McGregor’s actual target and the main reason for causing this infamous incident. He was also on the bus at that time.
