Dana White defends UFC 229’s marketing, inclusion of McGregor’s bus attack in its promotion

UFC 229 could have been one for the books, but instead it’s being called a dark chapter in its storied history.

A full scale brawl erupted between the fighters, then the fans, resulting in multiple arrests. If there’s a lesson anywhere, no one appears to be learning it. Conor McGregor is claiming — I guess — a moral victory. Khabib Nurmagomedov is going with the He Started It defense. Zubaira Tukhugov — the fighter who suckered Conor from behind — Instagrammed his confidence in his actions.
