Dillon Danis paid for McGregor’s 50k bail, I’m told. So, McGregor should be able to leave right away.

His teammate Cian Cowley, who was also involved in the incident, has had his bail set at $25,000.
Conor and his entourage entered the Barclays Center yesterday afternoon and threw a hand truck at a bus transporting fighters from a UFC 223 promotional event.
