Thursday’s circus caused by UFC superstar Conor McGregor has come to a close after the Irishman turned himself into the NYPD following his destruction of a bus carrying fighters preparing for Saturday’s UFC 223.

Sources within the department confirmed to MMA Fighting that McGregor turned himself into the 78th Precinct in Brooklyn Thursday night, where the melee occurred at the Barclays Center.

Authorities say he’s facing assault charges stemming from today’s highly publicized incident. He hasn’t officially been arrested but may still be.

Michael Chiesa and Ray Borg were injured to the point where they had to pull out of their respective UFC 223 fights, while Artem Lobov was removed from the card due to his participation in Thursday’s chaotic scene.

Never a dull moment when Conor McGregor is around, but Thursday’s antics clearly have surpassed his past brash promotional style.

Police say McGregor is currently facing assault charges, but may also face additional charges as well.

Jose Aldo Already Knows When He’s Fighting Max Holloway

Newly-crowned UFC interim featherweight champion Max Holloway didn’t waste any time calling out Jose Aldo after he picked up the biggest win of his MMA career with an impressive TKO of Anthony Pettis in the main event of last Saturday’s (Sat., December 10, 2016) UFC 206 from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Newly-crowned UFC interim featherweight champion Max Holloway didn’t waste any time calling out Jose Aldo after he picked up the biggest win of his MMA career with an impressive TKO of Anthony Pettis in the main event of last Saturday’s (Sat., December 10, 2016) UFC 206 from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto.

Holloway said he was willing to face the longtime champion, whom he’s been caling “Jose Waldo” and believes to have a case of “pussyitis,” at February 11’s UFC 208 pay-per-view (PPV) event from Brooklyn, New York, but also wants to enjoy his son’s birthday and Christmas rather than waste a training camp if and when Aldo were to withdraw from the fight.

However, the recently “un-retired” champion told Brazilian media (via MMA Fighting) that the fight will indeed happen on that date, as Aldo was simply waiting to find out who won the fight at UFC 206:

“He’s saying ‘where’s Aldo?’, you have to talk to the UFC,” Aldo said. “About the fight in February, I already knew that, I only didn’t know who I would fight. It was between him and Pettis, whoever won the fight. It’s not something new. This fight will happen on Feb. 11.”

Aldo makes it seem as if his next fight was already scheduled and set in stone, but the fact simply is his next fight was never anything even remotely close to certain after he said he no longer wanted to fight for the UFC anymore after Conor McGregor won the lightweight title at November’s UFC 205 and revealed he would take some time off, presumably never fighting at 145 pounds – where Aldo has been waiting for a rematch ever since “The Notorious” knocked him out in 13 seconds on this very day one year ago.

True, the record-breaking Nova Uniao star is one of the most decorated fighters in MMA history, and his reputation or legacy can never be questioned in MMA circles. But he’s fought only once a year recently, and he’s made exponentially more headlines complaining about one situation or another than for anything he actually did fighting.

That’s a shame for fans, because Aldo was once known as the most indestructible wrecking machine in the sport at one point. Let’s hope he can bring back some of that magic when he supposedly faces Holloway and the massive momentum of his 10-fight win streak on February 11 in Brooklyn.
