After videos emerged of Conor McGregor attacking a bus during the UFC 223 media day Thursday in New York, the UFC star was charged with three misdemeanor counts of assault and one count of felony criminal mischief. McGregor was released on $50,000 bail after turning himself in to New York Police.
The Irsishman, along with a group of “hoodlum” attackers, used chairs, dolly’s, guard rails and just about anything they could get their hands on when they damaged a tour bus on a loading dock at the Barclay’s Center in Brooklyn New York full of UFC fighters and members from the organization.
On Friday night, the UFC released new, high-definition footage surfaced of the incident in their latest Embedded vlog series. You can see for yourself just how destructive McGregor’s camp was.
Yikes. What an episode and inside look on Conor's antics. You can see first hand the damage that was inflicted both on the bus and the fighters.
As you can see, Dana was not happy at all with the incident, and reached out to the fighters affected by the criminal acts. White spoke with TSN MMA and UFC reporter Aaron Bronsteter on the latest on the situation.
If anything, this is superb promotion, whether it's real or not. The incident reportedly stemmed from McGregor's camp trying to get at Khabib Nurmagomedov, after Khabib got into an altercation in a hotel with McGregor's friend, Artem Lobov.
TSN MMA and UFC analyst Robin Black believes a fight between the two could be on the horizon.
