Michael Chiesa’s Lawsuit Against Conor McGregor Revealed
The UFC 223 bus episode isn’t in the rear-view mirror just yet for Conor McGregor. The Irish celebrity was sued by Michael Chiesa after he was injured in the dolly-throwing incident back in UFC 223, and now we have details of the lawsuit. TMZ has been the first to examine the details of the lawsuit in a video which you can watch at the conclusion of the article.
As stated by the TMZ report, Chiesa is claiming that the UFC 223 dolly episode was a publicity stunt on the part of McGregor, and Chiesa wants all of McGregor’s gains from his mega fight against Khabib Nurmagomedov in UFC 229. According to the litigation, the”Son of Sam” law in New York applies to the incident, where someone convicted of a crime can not utilize that offense to profit. According to the suit, Chiesa considers McGregor profited from the UFC 223 episode, partially because it drew more attention to him and the card, and because the UFC utilized footage of the bus assault to promote the McGregor vs. Nurmagomedov struggle at UFC 229. Remember that the UFC 229 pay-per-view was the largest selling PPV that the UFC has done, so McGregor made millions of dollars for that struggle, and Chiesa wants a piece of the pie.
Will Chiesa’s lawsuit be successful? Who knows now, and it’s possible this is finally settled out of court. But obviously Chiesa was given legal advice to take this as much as he could go and he’ll try and make some cash from it, and it’s hard to blame him considering he had been legitimately hurt in the bus attack. So far, fans and press have laughed off Chiesa’s lawsuit. But everyone needs to remember Chiesa obtained facial cuts at the bus attack that forced him off the card. He fought at UFC 226 and lost by submssion into Anthony Pettis, and he should feel like he got the raw end of the deal. Chiesa is next scheduled to confront Carlos Condit in the UFC 232 card, but using this litigation in your mind you need to wonder if it is going to affect him.
As for McGregor, he is still dealing with the Nevada Athletic Commission in relation to this UFC 229 episode where Nurmagomedov jumped through the fence. It has been rumored McGregor plans to fight in MMA again in 2019, but till we see what sort of sanction he’ll get for UFC 229 it’s difficult to say precisely when he will compete again, and contrary to who. The bus attack clearly didn’t hurt McGregor’s stock as far as it hurt a number of the other fighters daily, such as Rose Namajunas, that states the bus attack mentally scarred her and that hasn’t fought because UFC 223. While McGregor has made countless since then, other fighters that day such as Ray Borg were badly affected by the incident, and it’s difficult to blame people who were hurt from the attack to try and sue McGregor and determine what happens in the courts.
