Following our previous report on the insane outburst by Conor McGregor during yesterday’s media event for UFC 223, we now know more details on what is happening with him and what the UFC had to say.

To remind everyone, it was just yesterday when McGregor and his entourage, which included UFC fighter Artem Lobov stormed into the Barclays Center in Brooklyn after UFC’s media day for UFC 223.

There, the group would proceed to throw steel dollys into the side of a bus and into the front windscreen. In particular, Michael Chiesa was injured when the window shattered, sending glass everywhere.

Due to this, Chiesa had to be taken to the hospital and was unfortunately told he would be unclear to fight Ray Borg on Saturday due to the injuries he sustained.

Since that time, a warrant was issued for McGregor’s arrest, as news also broke that multiple people are intending to sue the former UFC Lightweight and Featherweight Champion. McGregor has now turned himself in to the New York police and did so late last night.

McGregor is expected to go before a judge on Friday over the assault-related charges, as New York 4 News reports.

The UFC has released a statement on what transpired yesterday:

“During today’s media event at Barclays Center to promote UFC 223: Khabib vs. Holloway, Conor McGregor, and Artem Lobov entered the building accompanied by over a dozen individuals.

The group, which included McGregor and Lobov, vandalized the vehicle that contained a number of athletes competing at the event taking place this weekend. NYPD was immediately alerted and is currently in the process of investigating the situation. UFC is working very closely with the New York Athletic Commission, Barclays Center security and law enforcement authorities. All parties are working together to ensure the highest standard of proper safety precautions are implemented to protect the fans and athletes.

The organization deems today’s disruption completely unacceptable and is currently working on the consequences that will follow. Immediately, Lobov has been removed from this weekend’s card and individuals involved in the incident are not welcome at tomorrow’s ceremonial weigh-in or Saturday’s event at Barclays Center.”

They have also released a statement on the new fight card:

Thursday afternoon, following the UFC 223 media day at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, an incident in the facility injured two athletes on Saturday’s card, forcing them to be pulled from the event.

Lightweight Michael Chiesa, who received several facial cuts, was deemed unfit to fight by the New York State Athletic Commission and the UFC medical team, and he was removed from his bout against Anthony Pettis.

Flyweight Ray Borg, who was scheduled to face Brandon Moreno, was deemed unfit to fight as well due to multiple corneal abrasions.

Also removed from the card was the featherweight bout between Artem Lobov and Alex Caceres due to Lobov’s involvement in the incident.

UFC 223 will proceed as scheduled with 10 bouts. Moving to the Pay-Per-View main card is the featherweight bout between Zabit Magomedsharipov and Kyle Bochniak.
