Michael Chiesa’s attorney made it official Monday night. The UFC fighter is suing Conor McGregor and others in response to the infamous dolly-throwing incident that occurred back in April in Brooklyn.
Chiesa filed a lawsuit against McGregor, McGregor Sports and Entertainment, Barclays Center, McGregor’s cohorts and others Monday in New York State Supreme Court, Kings County, per the complaint obtained by MMA Fighting. TMZ was the first to report the news.
Among the claims made in the suit are negligence, negligent infliction of emotional distress, assault and battery.
After UFC 223 media day in April, McGregor, the former UFC lightweight champion, and dozens of others stormed the Barclays Center loading dock in Brooklyn, attacking a bus that held UFC fighters.
