I’m told some of the fighters who were on the van are “shaken up.” They are still at the arena and Dana White, as well as local authorities, are there now.

Michael Chiesa’s coach describes this incident as McGregor going “bananas,” which might be the funniest way to describe an attack on a van full of people. https://t.co/gwQ9ojaBuL

Combate reporting that Chiesa, who by the way has to fight on Saturday, got cut after McGregor threw something at the van. We have more on that coming up on @MMAjunkie soon. We’ve gone way past gimmicky. This is fucked up. https://t.co/bK7LB4zoOb

I have analyzed the footage and it was NOT Conor throwing the fence. But he did pick up a garbage pail.

A source has told me a tha Dana White turned up at the scene and said…. “Conor is in jail, he’s done”

NYPD have confirmed to multiple reporters that Conor McGregor has not been arrested.
This was not what was explained to the people on that bus.

In the last few hours Conor McGregor:
-Arrived in NY to support team mate Artem Lobov.
-Then charged a UFC bus throwing projectiles at it.
-Actions which have caused injuries to Michael Chiesa.
-Artem Lobov is now pulled from the card.
-A warrant is out for his arrest.#UFC223— Chamatkar Sandhu (@SandhuMMA) April 5, 2018
Brraking: Dana White says NYPD has issued warrant for Comor McGregor’s arrest. Artem Lobov off #ufc223 card due to involvement in altercation

Dana White confirmed Michael Chiesa suffered an injury, cuts to the face, and is in the hospital. Artem Lobov has been pulled from UFC 223, per White, as he was apparently part of the crew that stormed the building.

There it is. Probable cause for an arrest warrant. Conor McGregor needs to be in the loving arms of his attorney ASAP so they can negotiate their way out of a perp walk. https://t.co/SAvkdI366H

Dana White tells @MMAjunkie that what happened today involving Conor is “criminal, disgusting, disposable, makes me sick and we as an organization need to make sure this never happens again”

Dana White says a warrant is out for the arrest of Conor McGregor. Michael Chiesa sustained several cuts, he’s at the hospital. Artem Lobov is off #UFC223.
Dana says it was the MacLife guys who let him in the building as they were credentialed media. #UFC

Just spoke to a spokesman for the NYPD. There is no warrant out for Conor McGregor’s arrest at this time, he said. They are, though, looking for him and want to speak with him, the spokesman said. No one has filed charges against McGregor at this moment.

Michael Chiesa is planning on fighting Saturday, I’m told. He’s out of the hospital and back at the hotel to begin his final weight cut.
