Conor McGregor’s shocking dolly-based attack on a bus full of fighters, ahead of UFC 223 in New York City earlier this year, left behind an unexpected series of long-term repercussions. The most notable of these played out at UFC 229, back in October, when McGregor finally got the chance to confront the object of his ire, Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The two men met in the Octagon for what would become the highest selling UFC PPV of all time. And while Khabib would take a clear victory, behind a 4th round submission, the overflowing emotions sparked during that UFC 223 fight week resulted in a brawl between fighters and teammates that spilled over into the arena crowd.
