The NYPD confirmed earlier today that Conor McGregor has been charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief.
Videos started circulating last night showing McGregor and his crew attacking a bus containing lightweight rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. The recently stripped lightweight fighter was caught on video throwing a dolly and breaking a bus window injuring UFC fighters Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg in the attack.
The Notorious gave himself in to the NYPD this morning and the Dubliner attended a hearing in a New York city courtroom this evening with Ariel Helwani reporting that his bail has been set at $50,000 with his associate Cian Cowley's set at $25,000.
Conor McGregor’s bail has been set for 50k, sources confirm. Cian Cowley’s bail has been set for 25k.

Dane White stated earlier that he would not help McGregor and his troubles with the law, calling the bus attack the worst thing that's ever happened in the UFC, and when pressed on whether McGregor would fight with the company again White admitted that he didn't know.
