For all those early defenders who claimed that Conor McGregor hadn’t actually caused any damage, take a look at this damning footage.
The first clips to emerge from McGregor’s inexplicable attack on the buses which were carrying fighters from the Barclays Centre to their hotel on Thursday showed him struggling to hurl a guard rail at one of the vehicles.
But the subsequent footage leaves no doubt about the damage caused by ‘The Notorious’ during an incident which has been slammed by UFC President Dana White as “the most disgusting thing that’s happened in the history of the company.”

McGregor was filmed picking up a heavy hand truck and throwing it through a window of one of the buses before setting his sights on other potential projectiles.
UFC lightweight Michael Chiesa, who is scheduled to fight Anthony Pettis on Saturday’s card, was taken to hospital after suffering several cuts.
At the time of writing, Chiesa is unsure whether or not he will be able to compete this weekend.

UFC strawweight champion Rose Namajunas was reportedly quite shaken up by the incident but after taking time to compose herself, she has decided to remain on the card and carry on as planned with her rematch against former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk in the co-main event.
