So, looks like Conor McGregor had a comically over-the-top meltdown yesterday, attacking a UFC bus, throwing something through one of its windows and seemingly injuring a couple fighters to make the next card a lot shittier.

Guess when you turn pure diva and refuse to actually fight anything other than pure "for all the money" exhibition fluff, you've gotta do something to keep your name out there.

Heard jalen rose say it was staged. Hard not to believe that.

I'm somewhat thinking that too.

What the hell could be the motive for this?

My money's on it being staged, too, but I just totally want to believe all of this is real just because of how batshit crazy it is.

1. Some random fighter that spars with him gets in spat with one of the guys fighting for the belt that's being forced to vacate because he refuses to actually defend it.

2. He flies from Ireland to Brooklyn solely for a confrontation.

3. He and a posse wage war on a UFC bus with that fighter in it, leading to multiple fighters suffering injuries and being removed from the upcoming card.

4. Dana White talks tough because that's all he ever does.

5. ??????

6. Profit!

I mean, this is the first interesting UFC tidbit that's happened in years!

If/When Khabib and Connor actually fight in the octagon, it will be huge.

If everyone involved agreed to it, I'm sure the guy with glass in his eye is second guessing himself. If he didn't agree to it and it still turned out that UFC was involved in the staging, that would be an enormous lawsuit and payday.

Khabib put together a group of 30 to go against Conor's group. Lol. I would like to think it's not staged, because that Is very WWE'ish but it's looking staged.
