And now, according to UFC president Dana White, a warrant is out for McGregor's arrest.

Iβm told some of the fighters who were on the van are βshaken up.β They are still at the arena and Dana White, as well as local authorities, are there now.
Conor McGregor and members of his team showed up at the Barclays Center at the very end of media day moments ago. There was an altercation with some of the departing fighters who are competing on the card.
Iβm told as the van was driving away to take the fighters back to the hotel thatβs when it happened. Those fighters havenβt left the arena now.
Iβm told that chairs were thrown through the van window and one passenger on the van was injured.
Dana White said warrant is out for Conor McGregorβs arrest. His plane canβt leave New York.
Iβm told from people who were in the van that as the van was driving off, they started banging on the windows before security broke it all up.

Dana White said warrant is out for Conor McGregorβs arrest. His plane canβt leave New York.
According to multiple sources Michael Chiesa suffered a laceration in the fracas. He is being attended to at the arena. Unclear at this time how serious his injury is.
Dana White is on his way back to the arena. Most of he fighters are still in the arena but some were able to leave.
Iβve seen video shot by fighters in the van. Very clear Conor is telling someone to get out of the van before being pulled away by security. Khabib and his team were in that particular van.
