Report: Michael Chiesa wants all of Conor McGregor’s UFC 229 earnings for Brooklyn bus attack

UFC welterweight fighter Michael Chiesa is not done with gripes over the UFC 223 bus attack last April. Now, he is demanding for all of Conor McGregor’s earnings from UFC 229 as compensation for all the damages it had caused for those directly affected, including himself.

TMZ was able to speak to Chiesa, who is ardent in the belief that the attack was pre-meditated, given that it was used to promote the October 6th main event fight between McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov. Chiesa also claimed to have been contacted by the UFC as a replacement for Max Holloway, who had been pulled out of the fight after being ruled medically unfit to compete.
