THROWBACK: When Conor McGregor Attacked Khabib Nurmagomedov’s Bus

Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov is one of the biggest rivalries in the history of combat sports. While their confrontations inside the bout are well-known, there was a time when McGregor attacked Khabiib’s bus.

When Khabib was to feature in a fight at the UFC 223 in 2018, McGregor attacked Khabib’s bus. It all started with Khabib confronting Artem Lobov- a long-time teammate of Conor McGregor. This brought McGregor to the Brooklyn Arena. McGregor ended up throwing a dolly at the bus carrying Khabib and other UFC fighters. Although Khabib came out unharmed from the incident, a few other UFC fighters in the bus got injured.

For his actions, McGregor was sentenced to complete five days of community service and an anger management course. McGregor’s community service occurred at two different churches in Brooklyn, New York.

Conor McGregor believes his “job is done” after confronting Khabib Nurmagomedov

Talking about the incident recently, McGregor said that he showed up to the arena because Khabib called out by slapping Conor’s teammate but Khabib did not come out to face Conor.

“For me I went into that Brooklyn arena, my job is done. He(Khabib Nurmagomeodv) stayed put, stayed put behind them women. Although I didn’t know at that time. But he did not move like he should have like any man with true honor would have.” Conor said.

“Well, we were called out. We showed up and that as it. Like I said I stay put the back of that bus. But like I said it’s a different time, and I am at a good spot. So my job was done. And then the fight was just a secondary thing to it. I was not as committed, I just went in for a fight and that’s it. I was damaged, injured, unfocused.“
