"Send me a location. I'm going to come. Wherever you want. Ireland, New York, Brooklyn or Moscow. It doesn't matter."
If Khabib Nurmagomedov was rattled
inside the 'red corner' bus when it came under attack, in Brooklyn on Thursday night, it definitely did not show.
'The Eagle' was the intended target for an ambush that involved Conor McGregor and many of his entourage, soon after the UFC 223 press event. The whole sorry fiasco ended up seeing a bus window smashed, a UFC employee being sent to hospital and two fighters - Ray Borg and Michael Chiesa - sustaining injuries that will keep them out of this weekend's pay-per-view event.
Footage of the incident appeared soon after it all went down, in the loading bay of the Barclay's Center, but a fresh video has emerged that was recorded inside the bus carrying the 'red corner' fighters.
The video captures a raucous few moments on-board, with some passengers eager to get out an confront McGregor and his crew. An argument raged as some inside the bus tried to restrain others.
"Open the door!"
"No."
"Open the f**king door now!"
McGregor is then seen lifting up a hand trolley [a "dolly"] and launching it at a window, which smashes before the camera goes black.

"What the f**k, you f**king p***ies!" an unidentified passenger roars in defiance.
The video contains a chilling message from Nurmagomedov to McGregor, who claims he will meet him anywhere he wants to settle their feud. The Dagestani says:
"Tell me, where?!"
The whole video [below] is worth a watch but the main action unfolds in the final minute.
