Dana White said that the three people arrested have been released.
After three members of Khabib Nurmagomedov's team were arrested for assaulting Conor McGregor in the aftermath of UFC 229, Dana White has confirmed that McGregor has refused to press charges against them.
They've since been released, according to the UFC President.
White also confirmed that McGregor is giving no second-thoughts to the unsavoury scenes that unfolded after the fight, he's solely thinking about the match itself.
When asked about a potential rematch, White said that it's still too early to entertain the idea - the issue of Visas and the work that the local police have to do - was mentioned again.
In terms of the aftermath of the main event, White said that "It's unfortunate that a night when most people were watching, this shit show goes on" and that he's unsure if Nurmagomedov will be stripped of his title. He also confirmed that Khabib's purse for the fight has been held.
White also refuted claims that including the footage of McGregor attacking the bus at UFC 223 in the promos helped to stoke the flames of this rivalry.
