Former UFC champion Conor McGregor's bail was set at $65,000 AUD during his arraignment hearing on Saturday morning (AEST) in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
But his passport was not seized, allowing him to travel home to Ireland, MMAFighting.com reported in the wake of his arrest and charges related to an alleged attack on a bus full of rival fighters.
McGregor, who was seen Friday morning being escorted in handcuffs from NYPD's 78th Precinct in Prospect Heights in Brooklyn, has been charged with three counts of assault and one count of criminal mischief.

Footage purportedly showing McGregor throwing objects at the vehicle appeared on social media Thursday, and the New York Police Department later confirmed that he turned himself in for questioning.
An NYPD spokesman confirmed to Omnisport on Friday that McGregor had subsequently been charged. He appeared Friday before Kings County Judge Consuelo Mallafre-Melendez in the hearing in Brooklyn Criminal Court before what MMAFighting.com described as "a courtroom full of people watching these people get arraigned."
If the former UFC champion is looking for help from the organization, he's out of luck, UFC president Dana White said Friday morning.
"No ... no," White said on ESPN's "Get Up!" (via ESPN.com) when asked if he would help McGregor. "Normally, yes, I would dive right in and do everything in my power to help one of my guys. But not in this situation.
"He came into the Barclays Center, attacked our fighters and attacked my staff with a bunch of guys. No, you don't get my help on this one."
The fallout from the melee has seen three fighters sidelined from their bouts this weekend, while Artem Lobov has been pulled from the card by UFC for his alleged involvement.
Max Holloway was ruled out of his scheduled showdown with Khabib Nurmagomedov by the New York State Athletic Commission on Friday morning. UFC has asked Anthony Pettis to step in after his bout against Michael Chiesa, who was sidelined by the NYSAC, was scrapped in the wake of the melee Thursday. Flyweight Ray Borg will also miss his bout with Brandon Moreno after he was hit in the eye with shattered glass.
White told ESPN that he texted with McGregor on Thursday after the incident. He said McGregor was "apologetic about the people he wasn't trying to hurt. But he felt the Khabib thing had to be done."
White said Friday morning that he remains stunned by McGregor's actions.
"It's out of character for Conor McGregor and any of my fighters," White said of McGregor's behavior. "Listen, crazy things happen in sports. … In the history of the UFC, this is definitely the worst thing ever that's happened. … This is not Conor McGregor. This is not the Conor McGregor that I know."
