McGregor is not happy!
Conor McGregor is hitting back at a security guard who claims the UFC star injured him during the bottle-throwing incident at the 2016 press conference for the Nate Diaz fight.
William Pegg who filed the lawsuit was working for MGM security on Aug. 17, 2016 when Nate and Conor threw bottles and cans at each other.
Pegg says McGregor threw the can that struck him in the left shoulder and injured him.
But McGregor, who is never one to mince his words, is telling his side of the story saying Pegg failed in his duty to provide security at the event and "did nothing" while Nate and his crew initiated the incident by throwing bottles at Conor first.
Had Pegg met his obligations not only as a security guard on duty during the press conference, but moreover, the person purportedly in charge of security, and protected Conor this entire incident would have been avoided."
Conor also admits to throwing objects that day but says there's no proof that the object that struck Pegg was thrown by him. The entire thing was captured on video though so Conor may regret those words.
The case is due back in court later this year.
Conor’s final words on it? Pegg sucks at his job.
Ouch!
