Speaking after the clashes, UFC president Dana White said:

There is a warrant out for Conor McGregor's arrest. They're looking for him right now. His plane cannot take off. He cannot leave the state of New York with this warrant. He'll be grounded and I'm assuming eventually if they don't catch him, he'll turn himself in. You can imagine he's gonna be sued beyond belief, and this was a real bad career move for him.
