NYPD investigating incident with UFC’s Conor McGregor

A warrant has been issued for the arrest of UFC superstar Conor McGregor by the New York Police Department after an incident at a media event at Barclays Center on Thursday. A spokesperson for the NYPD wouldn’t confirm or deny the claim. “We have no information on this matter at this time,” an officer in the public information office said. “We are currently investigating the situation.” The group was allegedly in search of Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is fighting Max Holloway in the main event of UFC 223 on Saturday. McGregor’s group can be seen on videos posted on social media throwing chairs and security barricades in the bowels of the arena.
