The hearing lasted just over a minute.

Conor McGregor appeared in court today in Brooklyn relating to an incident in New York in April.

The trial last just 90 seconds as a date was agreed for another hearing on 26 July.

Speaking outside the court, McGregor said: “I regret my actions that led me here today. I understand the seriousness of this matter, and I am hopeful it will get resolved soon.”

The UFC star faced charges of criminal mischief, misdemeanour assault and menacing and reckless endangerment after he and some associates stormed a UFC event in New York City.

Their presence sparked a melee and video footage emerged of the Dubliner throwing objects at a bus full of fighters after a news conference at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center.

Two fighters were reportedly injured in the incident.
