Bukayo Saka sends three-word message to Conor McGregor after fight at Arsenal
Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka took to social media to thank UFC legend Conor McGregor for his visit to Emirates Stadium and let fans know there was ‘no harm done’ after they were seen sparring.
Fresh off the back of a starring role in Arsenal’s 2-0 Champions League win over French giants PSG Saka, 23, was filmed sparring with McGregor, 36, on the Emirates field.
The club have since launched an internal investigation to figure out how McGregor was able to make his way to the pitch in the first place.
In the video, the two are play-fighting, with the former UFC Champion aiming kicks at Saka’s knees and seemingly going to pick him up by the waist before deciding against it.
Saka has been integral for Arsenal so far this season, providing nine goal involvements across their opening seven Premier League games.

At the moment, the right winger will be focused on the task at hand with England, after unsurprisingly receiving a call-up from interim manager Lee Carsley for their UEFA Nations League games against Greece and Finland.
While on international duty, Saka took to Instagram to let his fans know that he was fine after their meeting and they had no need to worry about his well-being.
Once the international break is over, Saka and Arsenal will travel to Bournemouth on Saturday, October 19th, as they hope to keep within touching distance of league leaders Liverpool.
After that, they turn their attention to the Champions League with Ukrainian giants Shakhtar set to visit the Emirates in their third game in the new league phase.
