Breaking! Khabib Nurmagomedov has a message for Conor McGregor following today’s mayhem in Brooklyn!

Conor McGregor and his entourage stormed the Barclay’s Center today in Brooklyn where they proceeded to unleash havoc on not only the venue, but also the UFC fighters bus (watch that here).

McGregor and his team threw everything they could get their hands on towards the UFC fighter bus which contained UFC 223 event headliner and undefeated lightweight Khabib Nurmagomedov.

“Mystic Mac” actually shattered one of the windows on the bus, an act which is believed to have caused the injuries which forced UFC lightweight Michael Chiesa to be taken to hospital.

According to MMAFighting’s Ariel Helwani, today’s attack was a result of Tuesday’s confrontation between Khabib Nurmagomedov and McGregor’s teammate Artem Lobov.

“As for why this happened today, I’m told from multiple sources with knowledge that the motive was “retaliation” after Khabib Nurmagomedov and his team confronted Artem Lobov, one of Conor McGregor’s teammates and best friends, earlier this week.”

“Things have been escalating for a while between both sides (long history). I was told multiple times that there was fear if Lobov and Nurmagomedov saw each other that something might happen, but no one predicted anything like this happening.”

“But I was told this has nothing to do with the title stripping news yesterday. Nothing to do with UFC issues. All about the history with Nurmagomedov and in particular what happened on Tuesday.”

Ariel Helwani caught up with “The Eagle” shortly following the intense incident at the Barclay’s Center to get his take on what had transpired.

Nurmagomedov took that opportunity to send the following message to “Mystic Mac”:

“I am laughing inside. You broke window? Why? Come inside. If you real gangster why don’t you come inside? This is big history gangster place. Brooklyn. You want to talk to me? Send me location. I am going to come. No problem.”
