VICE's Dark Side of the Cage takes on Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov
The episode goes back to the bus attack at UFC 223 in Brooklyn and the brawl after UFC 229, and airs on VICE TV in the US on Tuesday night.
The feud between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov is the subject of the next episode of VICE's documentary series Dark Side of the Cage. "Conor vs. Khabib", the fifth episode of the second season, airs on Tuesday at 9pm Eastern time on VICE TV in the United States, which is 2am on Wednesday in the UK and Ireland.
The episode covers the bus attack in April 2018 and the fight that followed. On 5 April, after the UFC 223 media day at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, McGregor and his group attacked a bus carrying several fighters, including Nurmagomedov, as it left the arena, and a window was shattered. Artem Lobov was taken off the card because of his part in it.
The two finally met at UFC 229 in October 2018, and the night ended in a brawl after the fight that led to suspensions. A preview clip released by VICE talks to some of those who were closest to it.
