Unexpected chaos ensued during the UFC 223 fight week in April 2018 when Conor McGregor and a bunch of his comrades attacked a fighters’ bus. At the time, “The Notorious” was going after Khabib Nurmagomedov, who had a rift with SBG Dublin teammate Artem Lobov a few days prior.
The incident caused multiple fighter cancellations and left then strawweight champion Rose Namajunas greatly traumatized. However, Khabib apparently remained completely composed, according to his manager Ali Abdelaziz.
“The first thing I wanted to do, I want to jump out the bus. And Khabib was sitting, smiling,” Abdelaziz said during his guesting on the “Hotboxin’ with Mike Tyson podcast (transcript via MMA Junkie).
