Another Attention Whore Strikes----Conor Mcgregor
CONOR MCGREGOR AND his entourage gatecrashed a UFC 223 media day at Barclays Center sparking unsavoury scenes backstage which left one fighter - lightweight contender Michael Chiesa, who fights Anthony Pettis on Saturday - with a laceration to his forehead.
The current UFC lightweight champion and his crew attacked a van containing several UFC fighters as it departed the arena, throwing chairs and smashing a window before security ultimately intervened and they fled the scene. It's believed Chiesa's injury was caused by shattered glass.
Chiesa can be heard on from the scene asking those present: "Am I cut bad? I don't want to touch my face."
His coach, Rick Little, told MMAjunkie that Chiesa was "cut up". Little, who was on the bus, gave his version of events, and suggested his fighter's injury wasn't overly serious:
"Conor went bananas and put a on the van that we were in looking for Khabib [Nurmagomedov]," Little said.
