Irish professional mixed martial artist and boxer Conor Anthony McGregor has been arrested.
Reports says the former Ultimate Fighting Championship lightweight champion and former featherweight champion turned himself in at Brooklyn's 78th precinct on Thursday as he waits to be charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment today (Friday 6/04/18).
McGregor tweeted to say the New York State Athletic Commission had decided to pull him from his bout against Anthony Pettis. Addressing his opponent, he said: 'I'm devastated to say the least. @Showtimepettis I hope to run this match up ASAP, June 9th in your backyard. That's all I have to say for now. Much love.'
Newly emerged footage showed McGregor picking up a dolly and hurling it at his rivals' bus after the UFC 223 media day at Barclays Center in New York City on Thursday.In video he is seen running to the bus and throwing the dolly at the moving bus, slamming a window through which the passengers can be seen.
Connor needs to work on his temper, but he's still the most exciting personality in combat sport.
