Conor McGregor did it once again! After Khabib Nurmagomedov framing his friend Artem Lobov backstage at UFC 223, the Irishman lost his mind. The fighter invaded UFC 223's 'Media Day' in search of the Russian to settle differences. When the bus that took the athletes to the interview event arrived, he threw security bars at the vehicle. The aim broke the window and caused a gash on his forehead. Michael chiesa, who fights on the main card of the show against Anthony Pettis. Part of the confusion was filmed by the fighter Felice herrig (See the video below.)

“Conor went crazy and started hitting the van we were in, looking for Khabib. A million security guards had to restrain him. Mike (Chiesa) is cut. He has marks, but I don't think it's anything serious. Everything happened very quickly, we were surprised”, said coach Rick Little in an interview with the 'MMA Junkie' portal.

McGregor's anger isn't just with Nurmagomedov. This morning, the fighter took to Twitter to fire at the UFC on Twitter, after the franchise's president announced that he would be stripped of his position as lightweight champion. “You will not deprive me of anything. You’re a bunch of assholes who don’t do anything,” wrote Conor.

The main fight of UFC 223 would initially be a dispute between Tony Ferguson e Khabib Nurmagomedov for the lightweight belt. But the American was injured during an interview and left the contest last Sunday, with just six days to go before the contest. The event acted quickly and called up the featherweight champion (up to 65,7 kg) Max Holloway to face Nurmagomedov for the organization's lightweight belt. The show, which takes place next Saturday (07), in New York (USA), will have another title fight. The Straw Champion Rose namajunas defends his reign against the former champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
