Khabib Nurmagomedov believes the UFC helped orchestrate the dolly throwing, bus attack in New York the left fighters injured and unable to compete.
According to MMA Mania, Nurmagomedov spoke in depth with Russian outlet Channel 1 where he claims the UFC helped McGregor plan and orchestrate the attack
Here’s what he said, as translated and transcribed by MMA Mania:
”When I think back there are so many questions I don’t have the answer to, did they do it all on purpose? In my personal opinion, I feel like the bus incident was organized with UFC’s help. I can’t accuse them, but I would give it 70% that they did it. I wanted to get off the bus and all the other fighters on the bus confirmed this in their interviews, and all the managers as well.”
”It all happened in a minute in a half, two minutes max. He’s there with his cameras and his PR team with him shooting. An important point – the Barclays Center is a very big arena, a 20,000-person arena, but he knew where we were exactly. How could they have known? And how did they enter the arena with a gang of 20, 30 men? Come on.
”Conor has nothing to do with this media event and has a gang with him but these jokers lead him and everyone to the elevator where our bus is? I’m an athlete, but I’m also educated. My brain works pretty well for 15 years of fighting. I haven’t taken many shots to the head so I still have brains.”
To look back at the incident where McGregor threw a dolly at a bus full of athletes, plus Nurmagomedov’s post-fight attack after defeating Conor McGregor, flip the pages.
