Went kind of unnoticed at the presser but Rose is wearing a splint on her left pointer finger. Seems kind of odd.

This is a bit more than causing some hype. Also apparently his team stopped the fighter bus with everyone on the card from leaving. https://twitter.com/zaffo0/status/981951973602799617 https://twitter.com/bokamotoESPN/status/981953963313565697 https://twitter.com/arielhelwani/status/981954049149988864

As long as Conor didn't say anything about Chiesa's mom he will be ok.

According to MMA Beat, Rose Namajunas was very shaken up by the whole incident and her team is considering backing out of the fight.

They potentially could lose 2 fights off their main card with Chiesa and Namajunas being possible pull outs.

So the list of things that occurred according to Dana: - Chiesa was cut up by broken glass - Rose Namajunas was almost hit by one of the thrown objects and was extremely upset and left the venue on foot - A UFC employee's finger was broken in the scuffle. - Estimated the entourage that perpetrated this to be between 20-30 guys.

I mean its not exactly surprising that considering there was something like 20 people involved in this incident that warrants aren't out yet. They're probably still running through the security cam footage and what not.

The only way Conor gets released from the UFC would be if commissions refused to sanction his fights. Otherwise if they give him up Bellator will just scoop him up. But drat this is really something. I imagine they could shelf him for the term of his contract if they wanted to. I don't imagine he's fighting this year now.

Say what you will about Jon Jones but I think actively ruining a card you're not even on may be a new high for Conor.

The amount of buys this could potentially cost the UFC on what was potentially a top 3 PPV of the year. Now that's the lawsuit I wanna see.

The Dave posted:I would joke about the people no longer buying the card because Chiesa is out but he gets angry when you bring up his Mom. I don't think it's so much the lost Chiesa fight it's more the confusion and chaos created around this card. And if one of the championship fights has a botched weight cut due to this they're even more hosed.

mewse posted:This ambulance chaser website seems to suggest he'll get 3rd degree because 2nd degree requires the prosecutor to prove Conor had intent to cause serious physical harm. 3rd degree should be easily provable with all that video tho: He better hope it's 3rd and not 2nd because pleaing out to 2nd is pleading to a felony which would severely hamper his chances of obtaining a visa to enter the country going forward.
