    Sounds like she wasn't hurt thankfully but something like this in the middle of a weight cut while you're preparing for the biggest fight of your life can't be easy on the head.

    Plus she is a sensitive emotional person who has struggled with their mental health. She always tries to stay in a positive environment so I wouldn't be surprised if this took her off the card. I know people will give out if a fighter withdraws from getting 'shook' but this would absolutely suck if conor's actions affected her. As for Chiesa, I hope he sues the absolute **** out of Conor.

    Just on that, would he have grounds to sue Conor if Conor didn't actually throw whatever hit him, i.e if one of the posse did?

    One entourage in this case should not even have been there. The MacLife accredited people apparently opened a door/emergency exit and allowed the gang in to attack the buses.

    Jon Jones/ Diaz weren't at UFC events.

    I take it there are no more media events tonight? The weigh in on Friday is the next event?

    Lobov fight cancelled, Chiesa fight cancelled and Borg has glass in his eye. Card falling apart! FFS

    Statement from UFC:

    “During today’s media event at Barclays Center to promote ‘UFC 223: Khabib vs. Holloway,’ Conor McGregor and Artem Lobov entered the building accompanied by over a dozen individuals.

    “The group, which included McGregor and Lobov, vandalized the vehicle that contained a number of athletes competing at the event taking place this weekend. NYPD was immediately alerted and is currently in the process of investigating the situation. UFC is working very closely with the New York Athletic Commission, Barclays Center security and law enforcement authorities. All parties are working together to ensure the highest standard of proper safety precautions are implemented to protect the fans and athletes.

    “The organization deems today’s disruption completely unacceptable and is currently working on the consequences that will follow. Immediately, Lobov has been removed from this weekend’s card and individuals involved in the incident are not welcome at tomorrow’s ceremonial weigh-in or Saturday’s event at Barclays Center.”

    With 3 fights gone off the card, the main event should be on a good bit earlier now, right?

    You really don't follow the sport do you? You just pop up any time there is a bit of controversy surrounding McGregor. Pretty sad really.

    Everything will be moved up and start later. The main card will start at 3 am as advertised.

    Absolutely gutted that we have lost 3 fights off this card. I can only imagine how the fighters feel. You make it through camp, a day off weigh ins and then this **** stops you from fighting.

    I think his da had posted or that Khabib had already made weight. Wouldn't listen to a word, the scales will reveal all.

    I like the first comment on that reddit link, "What if he cuts so hard that he drops into the weight class below and is ineligible to fight?" :D

    If max can't make championship weight it really throws the cat among the pidgeons, Tony would be back on ensuring he is interim.

    If Max doesn't make weight and Khabib wins, Khabib is still the champion.
