Conor McGregor sued over infamous New York rampage

UFC superstar Conor McGregor is being sued over the now infamous New York rampage that saw him attack a rival fighter’s team bus.

TMZ Sports reports that the legal action stems from the attack on a UFC team bus at the Barclays Center in April this year.

Fellow UFC fighter Michael Chiesa, who was one of many on the bus, is said to be the party who filed the lawsuit.

Chiesa was scheduled to fight Anthony Pettis at UFC 223 just days after the incident, but had to withdraw after suffering cuts to his body and face while on the bus when McGregor started attacking it.

According to the report, Chiesa said in the lawsuit that he also suffered “severe emotional distress, mental trauma and/or bodily harm.”

McGregor had an altercation with several fighters before he started launching a guardrail and chairs at a bus carrying UFC fighters and employees that was trying to leave the arena.

He surrendered to police the next day.

McGregor reached a deal with the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office in July that allowed him to avoid any jail time.

He pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct and was sentenced to community service and anger management classes.

Chiesa is currently the No. 11 ranked lightweight in the UFC and holds a 14-4 record. He has lost his last two fights.

McGregor is currently the No. 1 ranked lightweight in the UFC, boasting a 21-3 record.

The 30-year-old Irishman has not fought in the UFC since 2016, having stepped away to take on Floyd Mayweather in the boxing ring.

McGregor is slated to fight in UFC 229 in October against Khabib Nurmagomedov.
