Bruce Buffer Expresses ‘Total Disgust’ Over Conor McGregor’s Bus Assault

April 9, 2018 | Posted by Jeremy Thomas

TMZ Sports caught up with UFC announcer Bruce Buffer and got his take on Conor McGregor’s rampage in Brooklyn last week. Buffer said he was “horrifed” by the incident, in which McGregor and his entourage attacked a bus of UFC fighters and caused injuries to Michael Chiesa, Ray Borg and others. McGregor is facing two felony charges for criminal mischief and ten misdemeanors.

“Never think anything like this could ever happen,” Buffer said. “In my 22-plus years of being in the UFC and doing everything I can in my life to build this great brand and to support this fantastic sport … it’s like you sh*t on all of us – with that one move. That’s not what we’re about. Perception is reality out there. I don’t understand how anybody could condone that kind of behavior, and if they do, then obviously they will be willing to do that kind of behavior.”

He end on to say, “As a whole, everyone has their own personal reaction, but I think it’s total disgust. I don’t care who they are. Anybody that justifies that has a problem,” he added. “I could say something else right now, and I want to say it, but I’m telling you right now: They have a problem. I’m being very polite…We’ll see how it all pans out. There’s no excuse for it. It’s an insult. It’s disgusting. I mean, that’s not what we’re about. … This is something that occurred with one individual. It’s separate from who we are.”
