Rousey also claimed that McGregor's bus attack was worse than Khabib's actions following his victory in Las Vegas last weekend at UFC 229.
'I think that Khabib jumping out of the Octagon was not as bad as throwing objects at a bus, because my friend Rose Namajunas was on that bus.
My friend, Michael Chiesa, missed his fight because [he got cut by the glass].'
