Deliberately or Not, Conor McGregor Created the Biggest Grudge Match in MMA

There's a screenshot from one of the many recordings of Conor McGregor's Thursday afternoon rampage in the bowels of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. He'd just sent a hand truck crashing through the window, injuring two fighters inside, taking a bad situation and escalating it dangerously.

McGregor was looking for his rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was scheduled to fight for the UFC lightweight title in just two days' time at UFC 223, a belt that was once McGregor's pride and joy. Nurmagomedov was on the bus with no intention of coming out. What McGregor hoped to accomplish was unclear.
