Michelle Waterson Concerned Others May Replicate Conor McGregor’s Actions if He’s Unpunished

Like most people when they heard about Conor McGregor’s bus attack on fighters attending UFC 223 media day last week, Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s strawweight fighter Michelle Waterson was appalled with what she saw.

As a result of the attack, three fighters were pulled from the event: Artem Lobov, who is McGregor’s teammate and friend was pulled instantly from the card for assisting McGregor in the attack as apparent retaliation for an incident involving himself and UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov, who allegedly slapped Lobov in the hotel lobby days earlier.
