"When I think back there are so many questions I don’t have the answer to, did they do it all on purpose? In my personal opinion, I feel like the bus incident was organised with UFC’s help," Nurmagomedov told Russian outlet Channel 1, as translated by MMA Mania.

And, yes, the UFC will definitely use footage of the post-fight melee in Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena when the time comes to promote Nurmagomedov vs. McGregor II. There is no doubt about that.
