Khabib Nurmagomedov admitted he was "shaken up" by Conor McGregor 's infamous bus attack four years ago.
McGregor and Nurmagomedov have been long-term rivals inside and outside of the Octagon and hostilities came to a head when the former attacked his foe's bus in an unprovoked attack four years ago. McGregor was seeking a confrontation with Nurnagomedov prior to the UFC 233 event at the Barclays Center in New York and opted to throw a metal dolly at the vehicle, sending it smashing into the windows.
Glass shattered everywhere and caused injury to UFC stars Rose Namajunas and Michael Chiesa, who were also sat inside the bus. Reed Harris, the UFC's senior vice president of athlete development, recalled what Nurmagomedov told him while appearing backstage at the Russian's Hall of Fame induction ceremony.
