McGregor and his friends were allegedly seeking retaliation for an incident in which Nurmagomedov confronted McGregor’s friend and teammate Artem Lobov at the Marriott hotel on Monday in an incident captured on video.When McGregor and his entourage could not locate Khabib they began throwing chairs and various other items around the Barclays Center, one of the chairs (UPDATE: it was a dolly that McGregor threw, not a chair) shattered a window on a bus which was transporting UFC fighters from the arena to a hotel, and lightweight fighter Michael Chiesa suffered a cut from the glass. Due to his injury, Chiesa’s status for his scheduled fight against Anthony Pettis is unclear, reports say Chiesa was being treated at a local hospital. A UFC employee was also injured in the incident.
