Michael Chiesa and his legal team are very much in the driver’s seat in their lawsuit against Conor McGregor, according to a Brooklyn lawyer.
Chiesa, a UFC fighter, filed suit against McGregor, Barclays Center and others Monday night in New York State Supreme Court, Kings County, in response to the now-infamous bus attack back in April after UFC 223 media day. Per the complaint, Chiesa is claiming negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, assault, battery and more. And attorney Dmitriy Shakhnevich believes he has a “legitimate” case, Shakhnevich told MMA Fighting.
