Alex Davis, a manager who was inside the bus with his fighter (Renato Moicano) said the following:
So here it is, Khabib did not hid, he was trying to get out and was held back.
And taken by the length Conor was willing to escalate, I am glad Khabib did not go out and this got out of hand....

"I heard a noise and I thought it was shot," the agent told UOL Sport via telephone. Undeterred by taunts at one of his friends the day before, Irishman McGregor along with about ten people attacked the bus carrying the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov. "Soon I noticed we'd have a problem and it quick escalated to total chaos. Khabib wanted to leave the bus and I tried to hold him, calm him down. There were UFC people who got hurt, but the security guards defended that bus as life itself. "
McGregor and his friends ended up throwing objects like a wheelbarrow and an iron grate at the windows of the bus, which injured the American Micahel Chiesa, who would fight at the event. "I went to check the cut in Chiesa, which is a guy for whom I have a great affection, and I saw that it was ugly," said Alex Davis
