Remember what happened

The confusion caused by McGregor began the week of UFC 223, in April. At the time, the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was in the main fight of the event, framed McGregor's friend Artem Lobov at the hotel where the athletes were staying. The Irishman did not like the Russian's attitude and accompanied by 10 partners, including Lobov, invaded the Barclays Center, where the UFC 223 Media Day was held. Looking for Khabib, McGregor and his associates threw several targets at the bus carrying the athletes (see videos below). In the confusion, Michael chiesa and Ray Borg, who would fight at UFC 223 and were in the vehicle, were injured and removed from the show. Immediately, the New York Police issued an arrest warrant for McGregor, who surrendered to authorities the following day.

The Irishman was released after paying bail of US$50 and at the trial, held in June, he declared he regretted his actions and avoided going to jail, being only responsible for bearing the costs of the breakdown he caused.
