Las Vegas mass shooting leaves Conor McGregor ‘absolutely devastated’
As the home to UFC headquarters and a plethora of fighters, Las Vegas is near and dear to the fight scene.
Which is why it should come as know surprise that the MMA community turned to social media to express deep sorrow in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history that originated at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino.
One fighter affected by the tragedy is UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor, who posted on Instagram late Monday night.
You could understand why Las Vegas is a special place to McGregor (21-3 MMA, 9-1 UFC). Five of his 10 UFC bouts have taken place in the city, including his 13-second knockout of Jose Aldo to win the undisputed featherweight title at UFC 194. McGregor also recently spent several weeks living in Las Vegas as he prepared for his boxing match with Floyd Mayweather.
The UFC has pledged $1 million to the families of those affected by the massacre.
As of this writing, 59 people have been reported dead with more than 500 injured. Police identified the shooter as Stephen Craig Paddock, who fired a hail of bullets from the 32nd floor of Mandalay Bay onto an outdoor concert crowd across the street.
