Conor McGregor was released on bail set at $50,000 after an arraignment hearing Friday for his charges of misdemeanor assault and felony criminal mischief, the court announced, per Ariel Helwani of MMA Fighting.

Additionally, McGregor's passport was not seized and he is allowed to fly back to Ireland.

The next hearing has been set for June 14 in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Cian Cowley, a member of McGregor's team, was also charged with assault and criminal mischief. His bail was $25,000.

Several members of McGregor's camp were involved in an incident at the Barclays Center on Thursday that took place at the conclusion of media day for UFC 223. They were seen throwing chairs and other equipment at a tour bus that was transporting competing fighters and their teams to their hotel.

Lightweight Michael Chiesa suffered lacerations from a broken bus window, causing him to be pulled from Saturday's card. Ray Borg was also pulled after experiencing eye issues due to the broken glass.

The judge ruled Cowley won't be able to contact Chiesa and Borg under any circumstances, according to Helwani. Violation of that order would lead to rearrest.

Adding to the UFC 223 chaos, Artem Lobov, a friend of McGregor who was involved in the ruckus, was pulled from his fight against Alex Caceres, leaving Caceres without an opponent.
