MICHAEL CHIESA WANTS ALL OF CONOR MCGREGOR’S UFC 229 EARNINGS

Michael Chiesa’s Lawsuit Against Conor McGregor Revealed

The UFC 223 bus incident isn’t in the rear-view mirror just yet for Conor McGregor. The Irish superstar was sued by Michael Chiesa after he was hurt in the dolly-throwing incident back at UFC 223, and we have details of the lawsuit. TMZ was the first to report the particulars of the lawsuit in a video that you are able to watch at the end of the report.
As stated by the TMZ report, Chiesa is claiming that the UFC 223 dolly incident was a publicity stunt on the part of McGregor, and Chiesa wants all of McGregor’s gains from his mega struggle against Khabib Nurmagomedov in UFC 229. According to the litigation, the»Son of Sam» law in New York applies to this episode, where someone convicted of a crime can not use that offense to profit. According to the lawsuit, Chiesa believes McGregor profited in the UFC 223 incident, partly because it drew more attention to him and the card, and because the UFC utilized footage of the bus attack to market the McGregor vs. Nurmagomedov fight at UFC 229. Remember the UFC 229 pay-per-view has been the largest selling PPV the UFC has ever done, so McGregor made countless dollars for that fight, and Chiesa needs a piece of the pie.
