Report: Michael Chiesa likely to remain on UFC 223 despite cuts from McGregor bus attack

Following Conor McGregor’s crazy rampage at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY, the UFC 223 PPV card very nearly descended into chaos. The UFC immediatly pulled Artem Lobov from his bout against Alex Caceres, due to his involvement in the fracas. But it sounded like Rose Namajunas vs. Joanna Jedrzecjzyk and Michael Chiesa vs. Anthony Pettis were almost in jeopardy as well.

After running through the underbelly of the event center, tipping over trash cans, manhandling barricades, and generally making a nuisance of himself, McGregor managed to find the bus containing Khabib Nurmagomedov along with a number of other UFC 223 fighters.
