WATCH: New Video Shows Conor McGregor’s Insane Bus Rampage in Full
The UFC released full, professionally shot video showing Conor McGregor’s rampage at the Barclays Center — in which he threw around a bunch of large objects and launched a hand-truck through the window of a bus carrying MMA fighters.
McGregor’s meltdown left UFC fighter Mike Chiesa with cuts to the face, and landed the famed Irish combatant in Brooklyn’s 78th precinct.
The imbroglio went down as the Barclays Center as a busload of MMA fighters were arriving for from UFC 223 media day on Thursday. McGregor and his pals fled the scene afterwards, but he later turned himself in.
“What the fuck,” Chiesa said in the video, as blood ran down his face. “What the fuck is wrong with him,” another man on the bus says, as McGregor ran around outside wielding a metal fence.
He punched a number of the bus’s windows, yelling “Get out!” and at one point he commanded his group to “Smash the windows!”
UFC Vice President Reed Harris can be seen in the video calling chief Dana White.
“Dana, Conor McGregor’s team just attacked our bus,” he said. “They threw a chair through the window of our bus and we’re stuck at Barclays arena. Mike Chiesa’s cut really bad.”
McGregor was charged with assault and criminal mischief for the outburst.
