Sounds to me like he was trying to be the main attraction like always and went too far.
Some glass from the rampage went flying and cut a fighter's forehead.
Probably going to get his ass sued off, and maybe even criminal charges.
Maybe take it down a notch Conor.
Do these guys have to be dumbasses all the ####ing time or what?

The most likely explanation is usually the most obvious one: cocaine.

“This is not my team bus, this is red corner bus,” he said. “My whole team wasn’t with me. It was just me, (my manager) Ali Abdelaziz and a cornerman, Muhammed. The whole red corner was on the bus. Rose Namajunas, Al Iaquinta, Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Ray Borg. Everyone.”
Asked if he was injured, Nurmagomedov said, “I am good. I feel good. Tomorrow, I am going to make weight. On Saturday, I am going to take belt and change the game.”
Following the incident, UFC president Dana White told reporters that there was a warrant out for McGregor’s arrest, however MMA Fighting’s Marc Raimondi later reported that as of 3:55 p.m. EST that was not the case, per a New York Police Department spokesperson.
“To be honest, I don’t want him to go to jail,” Nurmagomedov said. “We have to fight. If we have to fight, let’s fight. Send me location. Please, we have to fix this. Me and you. One-on-one. You want 10-on-10? OK.
“I give his whole team slap and no one say anything. He come with media, with cameras when I’m alone. Of course I want to go outside but they don’t let me leave the bus. He knows this.
“They don’t do nothing. I’m here.”

Ray Borg is being taken to the hospital for examination. He believes shards of glass entered his eyes as a result of McGregor smashing the bus window. He is having trouble opening them. His fight against Brandon Moreno could be in jeopardy.
Further Translation: After sending out a tweet right after the incident calling McGregor a bitch, he sees the potential for a lawsuit.

Mc###### is about to lose a lot of money.
@arielhelwani:
Michael Chiesa vs Anthony Pettis is canceled, sources say.
Reason for the cancelation are the cuts Chiesa sustained on his face, I’m told.
EDIT: Brandon Moreno vs Ray Borg also cancelled.

What a bizarre story. It’s enthralling for the UFC, but for all the wrong reasons!

A few things to unpack here.
Sounds like his press credentialed crew let him and the crew into the building.
Fights are cancelled more because all these guys supposedly injured on the bus had their brutal weight cuts interrupted. One of the guys was rumoured to be not likely to make the cut long before this, as he failed before, and this was a way out for him, and others likely to sue to be able to settle.
White comes out like some strong armed commissioner here, and while he’s likely a bit pissed, he’s also elated. A) because it’s going to be McGregor vs Khabib, which just grew in interest 10x fold, and, B) he now has some control back over McGregor, and the entity it’s become bigger than MMA, both in penalizing him for this, as far as dictating the rules,and, more importantly, penalizing him a share of his purse and ppv cut money going forward in the next fights.
And with McGregor, never sure how much of his schtik is a WWE style work to draw some heat and attention, that goes a bit further then planned when it kicks off. He wasn’t supposed to be in the US, but when Khabib too shot at his buddy and teammate, he came into town.

Holloway out of tomorrow's fight. Doctors couldn't clear him before weigh-ins.
What a crazy, disastrous fight week.

Part of me just feels like this is a giant work. Set up some weird WWE/UFC match making style thing to help both companies draw.
Any publicity is good publicity and this is certainly some publicity.

If that's what they were trying to do, which I doubt, it blew up in their face! What a gong show.
Have to say though that I've had more interest in the UFC in the last couple of days than I have in an awful long time! Don't expect it will last long though. I'm one of those (ex)fans that longs for the old days.
