Michael Chiesa Opens Up on Conor McGregor’s Bus Attack

Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight contender Michael Chiesa was forced to pull out of the UFC 223 card against his opponent Anthony Pettis back in April after a group led by former UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor attacked the media bus he was in just days prior to the event.

The Irishman picked up a loading dolly and threw it at the window of the bus, shattering the glass and injuring Chiesa, who sustained a cut to his forehead from a shard of glass.

The bus attack by McGregor was allegedly in retaliation to McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov being confronted by Khabib Nurmagomedov in the hotel lobby days before.
