Breaking | UFC 229: Conor McGregor refuses to press charges against post-fight attackers as fallout from incredible melee continues
Three men from Nurmagomedov’s camp are released without charge as Irishman refuses to take matters further
White revealed to Fox shortly after the incident that three men had been arrested by Nevada state police in relation to the incident.
But at his post-event media conference later on Saturday night, White said police had released the men after McGregor had opted not to press charges against them.
He also said that the Nevada State Athletic Commission had withheld Nurmagomedov’s US$2 million fight purse while the incredible post-fight melee is investigated further.
It was initially reported that two of the men who attacked McGregor were actually active fighters and White confirmed that neither of them would ever be allowed to fight in the UFC again following the incredible melee.
