50k bail for McGregor announced.
25k bail for Cowley announced.
June 14 date agreed for next hearing.


Protection orders for a number of those on the bus, neither of the above can contact them in any way.

Not to be within 50 metres of a bus. Not to make contact with any bus drivers. Stay off the Bus Eireann website, and don't f**king dream of entering Busaras

Interesting to note that there were cameramen with 'pro' cameras there when it all kicked off.

Khabib is a massive draw. Stop talking ****e.

How big is massive? He's popular in Russia, has a good few social media followers, but how many actually buy the PPV's?

His biggest event where he was only the co-main did 300k buys. Arguably that was more down to Holm/Cyborg who traditionally would pull those numbers anyway. That may be decent by 2017, 18 standards, but still weak and on the lower echelon of 'massive draw'.

It was the guys who film the Anatomy of Fighter YouTube channel. Some of the footage is already up.

Who are the 5 he can have no contact with & who is he supposed to have punched?

The punch was one of the security personnel at the venue I believe

Can they leave the country or must they remain pending court date?

And will the hearing be pay per view?

Judge issues an order protection in favor of Michael Chiesa, Ozzy Arias, Ray Borg, Ricardo Chico on Cian Cowley.

Those same people plus Jason Ledbetter have an order protection via the judge on McGregor.

Any contact leads to their rearrest.

The punch was on a security guard - assume thats Lefbetter mentioned above.

What's the odds of McG turning up on Saturday?

Muahahaha

According to this Conor is actually 155 right now! Make it happen Dana! It also says no drug use on it though...

The best part of that NYPD charge sheet is the bit "Physical Condition: Apparently Normal"

He is being trolled by the cops.

Because he will most likely have trouble getting a US visa henceforth, I would have thought.

No one knows for sure until he goes to court. I would imagine Russia is way down on the list of places that the ufc would want to have such a high profile ppv headliner.

Puts the ufc back in power. For McGregor to get past this he might need the UFC to throw him a bone and line up a decent fight.

No chance he gets locked up, he won't loose access to the states. No previous, he'll apologise, pay a fine and that'll be the end of it.

She's a nondescript, unknown Twitter user with less than 1k followers - what makes you think she's an MMA journalist?

From the video, looked as if they did about as well as could be expected. No crusader judge looking for a bit of limelight or anything. Both of them shut up and let the lawyers talk. The judge originally proposed June 7th for the hearing but Cowley pointed something out to to his lawyer about some competition he must have and they requested June 14th, which the judge agreed to. The felony charge against Cowley resulted from a claim that a chair he threw shattered the front window of the bus. His lawyer put on record that video doesn't support that and the lack of shatter would vacate the felony charge, presumably as he wouldn't be directly responsible for anyone's injuries. All very anticlimactic!

They'll have to. The fighters that were injured in this can just as easily sue the UFC for not providing a safe work environment.
