is that true? thats fucked up if it is. No wonder Conor was so pissed off
He said something along the lines of "Looking back, in hindsight I should have realised it was going to happen from the way they were all acting backstage"
was quite hard to hear what he was saying properly because his phone reception on the show was really shit.
theres more to this than is out I think. theres a story going round last night that McGregor had an injured rib from something that happened backstage prior to the fight. but its not clear if that was something involving khabib's team or he just walked into a door or something.
edit: Oh, i only just saw the bit you highlighted.
yeh, this came out last night. Apparently this is why McGregor flew out, Khabib's team basically kept Artem awake all night to fuck with his weight cut
After the incident where Khabib's lot cornered Artem and slapped him the lobby, the hotel moved Artem to a new room, so they were calling him and banging on his door to keep him up.
the worrying thing is I dont think this is over, its been a gradual escalation...
+ Artem calls Khabib a coward
+ Khabib and crew corner Artem in hotel and threaten him
+ Conor flies in and we get bus gate
+ Khabib and his crew return the favour with UFC229 attack
Balls now in Conor's court.. very much doubt this is over
