Police are looking to speak with mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor after he allegedly went on a rampage after a press conference at Barclays Center Thursday, purportedly injuring another fighter, according to UFC officials and reports.

Multiple social media accounts captured video of McGregor acting wildly in a non-public area of Barclays; one showed McGregor picking up a metal guardrail and running with it in an apparent attempt to throw it at a departing bus carrying several other fighters including rival Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Dana White needs to force McGregor into a fight at 170 with Nick Diaz. Shut this little brat up.

I suspect that Dana White encouraged McGregor to show up in Brooklyn - he adds a lot of hype to the event. I doubt White was behind the specifics of the attack on the bus but he was undoubtedly stirring the pot and this is what ensued, and now White is being a bit of a drama queen about it. There is a lot of WWE about his whole schtick.

McGregor keeping alive the stereotype of drunk Irish thuggery.

In all fairness, earlier today, Khabib and about 10 of his Jihadi gang surrounded Artem Lobov, McGregor's teammate and confronted/assaulted Lobov. (See: Video: Khabib Nurmagomedov and Artem Lobov in altercation in Brooklyn hotel)

So, McGregor gathered some of his teammates for some payback.

Wrong? Certainly. But hardly unprovoked.

Apparently he does a lot of cocaine, so that could be a factor.

Khabib probably had more to do with it when he and 10 or so of his jihadis surrounded and confronted McGregor's teammate, Artem Lobov earlier today.

[Nifster]

That was my thought. Plus probably drunk

He might need a little tasering. ⚡️

Artem called Khabib a pussy on russian radio. Khabib confronted him to see if he would say it to his face. Artem backed down.

A heart attack could be in the near future for him.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

Khabib confronted him to see if he would say it to his face. Artem backed down.

Yes. But, it's also true that Khabib was not alone, was he?

When the tables were turned and Khabib was faced with a gang, suddenly he wasn't so brave any more, was he?

[Theoria]

All this to get out of fighting Khabib. lol

[Theoria]

What tables. Khabib was in the bus. Conor grabbed a garbage can and attacked the bus.

Conor hopefully is getting deported.

[JaguarXKE]

That was my first thought.

[Ol' Dan Tucker]

What tables. Khabib was in the bus. Conor grabbed a garbage can and attacked the bus.

What tables, indeed.

Those jihadis are pretty brave when they're the gang facing down one guy.

But when the tables are turned and they're alone and confronted with a gang, suddenly they're not so brave any more.

Artem was kicked off the card because he was a part of the gang that went after Khabib on the bus.

As I wrote previously, was what McGregor did wrong? Absolutely. Was it unprovoked? Nope.

'But when the tables are turned and they're alone and confronted with a gang, suddenly they're not so brave any more. '

Not even the same thing. Khabib and other UFC fighters were on the bus, McCocaine and his grew attacked the bus with objects and projectiles.
