      Conor McGregor decided to attack a bus Friday... and injured a couple of folks, causing a relatively short PPV Saturday night.

      The number of angles and the professional videography almost make it look like some wrestling levels of story.

      Even if it was "staged", he injured 2 fighters who were both unable to fight the next night. Sure, there is a ton of PR to be had from this, but Conor really is that crazy. And he knows Khabib is going to take his belt away.

      I don't doubt it was staged. I also don't doubt that it was taken too far. The same things have happened in wrestling and boxing before it.

        But are the injuries staged?

          Not according to the hospital that treated them. One has corneal abrasions from broken glass. That could be a career ender.

              So is there more to come from this, like an impeachment?

                @dustinb3403 One would think so. Only question in my mind is how quickly will it occur?

                                  That's an interesting flaw in the BC design.

                                      It is not a flaw, but a feature. It is designed to have user input data. I'm totally not shocked.

                                        I guess "vulnerability" is a better word for it. As designed, but introduces a risk.

                                          I assume, a risk they didn't anticipate.
