Since Conor McGregor’s wild rampage in Brooklyn this past Thursday, the community has received very little in the way of explanation or apology from the Irishman apart from a secondhand accounting from UFC president Dana White, attributing McGregor’s antics to loyalty and a need to avenge his teammate, Artem Lobov, following a tense confrontation withKhabib Nurmagomedov and members of his team earlier in the week.

White went on to say that Mcgregor was contrite about the people that sustained injury as a result of his actions, but was not remorseful about the incident itself.

“Most of the things (in the text messages) I would rather not say, and probably can’t say, on TV,” White told ESPN. “He was apologetic about the people that he wasn’t trying to hurt, but he felt like the Khabib thing had to be done.”

Earlier today, McGregor’s manager, Audie Attar, released a tweet with a statement in the form of a screen shot of a press release.

“So much rumor and misinformation about my client, Conor McGregor. The matter is in the hands of law enforcement and I cannot really say more. Conor is a great father, a fiercely loyal friend, and one of the best athletes in the world. He looks forward to getting back to fighting as soon as possible.”

McGregor was released on a $50,000 bond yesterday afternoon and stands accused of three counts of criminal mischief, two counts of assault, one count of attempted assault, five counts of menacing and one count of reckless endangerment, according to court documents. Two of the criminal mischief charges are felonies. His next court appearance is scheduled for June 14, 2018.
