This led McGregor and his crew to fly to New York and throw a dolly on the bus containing Khabib and several other fighters on the card. Khabib captured the UFC Lightweight title that weekend, and the build to the fight between he and Conor was nothing short of tense.
McGregor did his usual schtick, getting nasty and personal. What he didn't realize was that getting inside someone's head is a two-edged sword.
It turned out to be lethal for McGregor, as he found himself getting absolutely decimated by Khabib throughout the fight (winning one round, but barely). He would lose the fight by submission, and the post-fight incident is something that requires extensive coverage in an article of its own.
