Yesterday afternoon, Conor McGregor arrived at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn, New York\u2014the host venue for UFC 223\u2014and all hell broke loose<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Even by McGregor standards, it was a terrible scene, as the Irishman and his lackeys attacked a bus containing a number of UFC 223 fighters. In video footage of the fracas, McGregor could be seen pelting the bus with whatever he could get his hands on, including a dolly, which he used to smash the back window of the vehicle.<\/a><\/p>\n

The fallout<\/a> caused by this frenzy was severe and extensive, as McGregor’s training partner Artem Lobov was forced out of his UFC 223 bout with Alex Caceres for his role in the ordeal, Michael Chiesa was forced out his main card lightweight bout with Anthony Pettis with facial lacerations, and Ray Borg was pulled from his flyweight bout with Brandon Moreno as a result of glass debris in his eye.<\/p>\n

After some confusion about whether or not McGregor was in NYPD custody, the Irishman ultimately turned himself in last night<\/a>.\u00a0As expected, he’s been hit with a bevy of charges.<\/p>\n

\n

I'm told 3 charges so far on Conor McGregor. Criminal Mischief felony for damage to bus, Assault 3 misdemeanor on someone named Jason who claims he was punched and Assault 3 reckless for injuring Chiesa following the hand truck through the bus window.<\/p>\n
