Dana White: There’s A Warrant Out For Conor’s Arrest, Artem Off The Card
Conor McGregor went crazy at the Barclays Center on Thursday after police say members of his MacLife.com website snuck him and 30 goons into the area where fighters’ busses were parked.

White further addressed the scenario to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto:
