UFC champion Conor Mcgregor caused a stir this afternoon when he attacked UFC 223 headliner Khabib Nurmagomedov.

Though conflicting reports circulated early, some stating there was a manhunt for Conor, while others saying he was already arrested, we now have confirmation that Conor McGregor is in Police custody.
