Rose Namajunas details trauma suffered from Conor McGregor bus attack ahead of UFC 223

When Conor McGregor launched an attack on a bus filled with UFC fighters in an attempt to get to Khabib Nurmagomedov, there were several athletes affected by his actions.

Michael Chiesa suffered a cut on his head from broken glass due to a shattered window in the bus and he was pulled from a scheduled fight against Anthony Pettis. Flyweight contender Ray Borg dropped out of a fight against Brandon Moreno after he had shards of broken glass get into his eye.

As for Rose Namajunas, she was just days away from a title defense against Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and while she wasn’t physically harmed during the assault, the mental trauma definitely took its toll.
