Conor McGregor is still currently at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami.

Bond ($12,500 for both felonies combined) has not yet been posted.

He is currently waiting to be placed in a unit. It will be a solo unit due to the high profile nature of the case.

Stay humble. One of the best lines I’ve heard was “I don’t want you to walk behind to me, I want you to walk next to me” Fame and power can either be used to raise others up or drive yourself into the ground. . #connormcgregor #arrested #robbery #stayhumble
