Conor McGregor arrested after attack on UFC fighters tour bus

One of the world’s most celebrated MMA fighter Conor McGregor has been arrested just hours after he unleashed an attack on a bus carrying his rivals, which caused Michael Chiesa the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s (UFC) lightweight to be ruled out of UFC 223.

The UFC star McGregor turned himself in Thursday evening after an alleged bus attack hours earlier, the New York Police Department (NYPD) said, quoted CNN.

UFC President Dana White condemned the McGregor actions calling it ‘criminal, disgusting and despicable.’

“We, as an organization, need to make sure this never happens again,” stated White, quoted mmajunkie.com shortly after the incident, which was caught on video by several people.

McGregor was filmed unleashing his attack as the bus pulled into a parking area loaded with UFC fighters. He is seen running to the dolly and then throwing it at the moving bus, slamming it into the window through which the passengers can be seen.
