Former UFC champion Conor McGregor spent the night in the 78th Precinct building in New York before being escorted out in handcuffs Friday morning to go before a judge.
McGregor, along with teammate Artem Lobov, were spotted coming out of the police station by TMZ Sports.
On Thursday, McGregor and his team stormed the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, leaving a mess like the UFC has never seen before. A vehicle was struck by objects, causing a window to shatter and sending two fighters and an executive to the hospital.
Late Thursday night, the UFC scrapped two planned fights involving Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg due to injuries the fighters suffered. Chiesa was scheduled to meet Anthony Pettis, with Borg taking on Brandon Moreno.
A decision was made by the New York State Athletic Commission to pull me from UFC 223. 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.

McGregor has been charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief. He is expected to go before a judge on Friday.
The UFC banned McGregor, called off Lobov’s fight with Alex Caceres, and made it known no one involved in the incident would be allowed in the Barclays Center over the next two days during weigh-ins and the card on Saturday.
