Khabib appeared to be the target of McGregor’s rage, there seems to be a lot going on between them.

White previously ruled that McGregor would have to forfeit the belt to whomever won the fight because the 29-year-old has not participated in a UFC event since 2016 – nearly a year before his doomed boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in August of 2017.

The Notorious reacted angrily at the ruling and made his anger known on twitter before the open confrontation. McGregor apparently took issue with being stripped of his belt by White and the UFC  

UFC president Dana White told the website MMAjunkie that a member of a credentialed website let McGregor and his entourage of about 20 people into the arena through a door during a media day event.

“This was a real bad career move for him,” White said.

White said McGregor had “some sort of beef” with lightweight fighter Khabib Nurmagomedov, who was on the bus.

‘ White continued. ‘Broke one of the windows and cut Michael Chiesa real bad. He cut his head and cut his face.

Rose Namajunas was apparently almost hit. She’s super upset right now… Hurt one of our employees, broke one of our employee’s knuckles.’

Police wanted to question McGregor in connection with the incident at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, according to an NYPD source with knowledge of the event.

McGregor allegedly threw something through the window of a minibus, injuring a passenger, according to the source.

Flyweight Ray Borg, who was scheduled to face Brandon Moreno, is also unfit to fight due to multiple corneal abrasions, according to the UFC.

“Also removed from the card was the featherweight bout between Artem Lobov and Alex Caceres due to Lobov’s involvement in the incident,” the UFC said. It did not provide details on Lobov’s role in the incident.

“UFC 223 will proceed as scheduled with 10 bouts,” the UFC said. “Moving to the Pay-Per-View main card is the featherweight bout between Zabit Magomedsharipov and Kyle Bochniak.”
