"That was uncalled for," Iaquinta told The MMA Hour. "That was not cool."
Iaquinta initially thought the bus had struck someone as it came to a jerking halt but soon realised it was coming under attack from McGregor and a few members of his entourage.
"I hear banging, like BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM. It was too loud to be fans or something like that, so I was like, 'Holy shit, they've run someone over and they're trying to get the bus to stop'. "And then, two seconds later, something just comes flying through the window. I was like, 'Oh shit. We're getting terrorists or it's like a school shooting or something like that'. This was like a shooting in Brooklyn. "And then I saw Conor running around. Everyone was freaking out. That was insane; no-one knew what was going on. Everyone was like, 'What the heck is this? What are we under attack from?' And then we see Conor running around and we're like, 'Oh, right'. So I whipped out my phone and started filming him. "He found Khabib and they were just yelling at each other through the bus window. It was uncalled for. Even if it's just the fighters on the bus - like me, Chiesa and all that - we're all in the fight game together. But then you've got the production guys, the bus driver... these guys don't want any shit. And then Rose was shaken up. It's not cool, you know?""That must have been some freakin' plane ride," Iaquinta added. "I don't know what they were up to on that flight but I would've liked to have been on that one!" The lightweight got a title shot and his biggest MMA pay-day from the bus attack so he would be forgiven if he looked back on the incident with mixed feelings.
