Conor McGregor has arrived at a New York court to face three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief.
Back in April, the Irish UFC champ and his entourage gatecrashed the UFC 223 media day in Brooklyn, New York, as they were allegedly looking for UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov.
After learning that Khabib was on a bus about to leave, Conor reportedly threw a dolly through one of the bus’ windows – leaving Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg with facial and eye injuries.
Following the incident, Conor turned himself in to the New York police, and he was subsequently charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief for his actions.

Ahead of Conor’s arrival at the courthouse, a fan was spotted holding a sign which read, “Free Conor”.
Another sign read, “The Champ Champ does what the f**k he wants.”

If Conor is found guilty of any of the charges facing him, his much-anticipated return to the UFC Octagon will be further delayed, as his chances of re-entering the USA will be seriously affected.
