After Conor McGregor’s violent attack on a bus two days before UFC 223, Rose Namajunas admitted that she was close to withdrawing from the event.
The Irishman’s moment of madness led to both Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg suffering injuries which forced them out of their fights, as well McGregor’s teammate and close friend Artem Lobov being pulled from his fight with Alex Caceres for his involvement in the attack.
McGregor eventually turned himself in, and was charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief.
