    I was working all day and missed all of this. Why is he going after Khabib? Is this fallout from the Lobov shit? If he wants to fight why doesn't he fight for real?

    I guess it's fall out from the Lobov stuff. I know Dana can not take someone acting like that to Russia if the plan really is to have Conor/Khabib in Moscow. Conor will get thrown in the gulag or something if he goes there acting like that.

    DFW says there is a warrant out for Conor and he is also likely to be sued by the people he injured, namely the security guard and Michael Chiesa, maybe the bus company as well.

    I get that Khabib and his team were bullying Lobov but if Conor wants revenge why is he resorting to this?

    No warrant for Conor but charges may be filed. The NYPD expects him to turn himself in.

    Lobov has been pulled from this card. Sucks for Lobov.

    The employee that was injured may have a broken hand according to Reid Harris who apparently was also cut by broken glass.

    Michael Chiesa is definitely going to sue.

    What the hell, man?

    The coke head thing Mamba talked about before is the only thing that makes sense for why he would resort to this. There is no other rational explanation. He has kind of built up to this from the water bottle throwing incident, to hopping in the cage at Bellator, to now this. There is a clear chain that appears to be going no where good.

    Honestly, this is wild and we have never seen something like this before besides maybe the malace at the palace?

    And Conor was also suspected of instigating a bar brawl back home not long ago. This is worse than the Miller Diaz row as at least that was in the cage.

    Flying a team of goons to New York to rampage through the arena looking for Khabib is scary behaviour.

    So it's likely Khabib was a blue corner fighter and not even on that bus then?

    No matter what he says in public Dana White probably loves this happened with Conor. It sounds like enough people are going to slap lawsuits on Dana's cash cow that he will have to come back and fight here soon.

    If Khabib wins the UFC will use these events to promote his return fight (and it will work.)

    Conor McGregor has been detained and is in custody of the New York Police Department following a fracas earlier today in Brooklyn.

    NYPD spokesperson George Tsourovakas tonight told MMAjunkie that McGregor is in the department’s custody and the investigation is ongoing. McGregor turned himself in earlier tonight at the 78th Precinct in Brooklyn, Tsourovakas said. He has not yet been charged while the investigation continues.

    NBC-4 News in New York reported McGregor is expected to be charged with assault.

    Edit: McGregor has multiple charges.

    People online keep saying this is viral marketing (as if his return fight wasn't already going to break records?)

    In McGregor's mind this may have been a marketing stunt. In the eyes of Dana White it's injuring several of his fighters and putting his fight card in peril. I can not see White thinking this a good idea. Jesse Taylor got fired for an incident with a car window.
