From a legal perspective.

3 Charges of assault and one for criminal mischief.

I know nothing about US law. What is he looking at? A slap on the wrist, a fine, community service, worse? Will he be deported and not be allowed back in?

He is white, rich, famous, and an athlete so nothing will happen to him besides a new book deal and a tour of the talk shows.

He'll most likely serve a calendar or two and join the Aryan nation for protection. Probably get his shit pushed in real good.

He'll pay a fine, talk to kids at the Irish American cultural center in Brooklyn (aka community service), then fight Nate Diaz in late summer, early fall. Winner fights Khabib, post-Ramadan, most likely in late November or December of 2018.

In all seriousness, he has no criminal record and with a good lawyer he should be able to plea the felony down to a misdemeanor.

Highly unlikely (I wanna say impossible) that he gets jail time. Most likely fines/probation/community service

Yup.

I imagine his lawyer will sway him towards admitting he has a bit of a coke problem so he'll end up doing some rehab and the rest will be a hefty fine and sweeping the streets for a few hours. No way he'll be seeing the inside of a cell again if he keeps his nose clean.

Not just Caucasian Advantage, but come on, Dana White is Conor's biggest enabler, and Conor is
Dana's biggest cash cow , so I'll be surprised if things don't work out very profitably for them , eventually. Call it The Dana White Enabling Factor.
In this TMZ world , this will all probably make the sport more ....obvious. So, it's all good... except
for the people he injured, and who were traumatized by his childish insanity. I gave up on the dude
when it became clear he wasn't about defending his belts.

Even though no charges or criminal investigations came of the events, I wonder if the Monster can incident or the Bellator incident will come into consideration during sentencing.

Assessing the criminal charges and evidence against McGregor

Regardless of McGregor’s motivations for launching an assault, he now faces criminal charges for the incursion. Most immediately concerning for McGregor and his attorneys are two felony charges for criminal mischief.

At its core, criminal mischief refers to intentionally damaging or defacing other persons’ property. The classification of criminal mischief as a felony depends on the degree of damaged caused. In New York, causing $250 of damages can lead to a felony charge that carries a potential sentence of up to four years in prison. Damages in excess of $5,000 can lead to a maximum prison sentence of seven years. McGregor faces one felony charge for causing more than $5,000 in damage and another felony charge for causing between $250 and $5,000 in damage. As a result, he could face up to 11 years in prison if convicted on both charges. As a first-time offender, however, McGregor would almost certainly not be sentenced to such a lengthy prison term.

Unfortunately for McGregor, video evidence alone could make the criminal mischief prosecution against him fairly simple. As New York City criminal defense attorney and former Manhattan prosecutor Jeremy Saland tells SI.com, “The video appears to reflect McGregor wantonly smashing a vehicle window. Assuming the damages exceeds $250 and he had no right to shatter it, the district attorney has an easy path to pursue should the full weight of the criminal law come to bear.”

McGregor also faces 10 misdemeanor charges. These mainly relate to assault, attempted assault, menacing and reckless endangerment. Taken together, these charges refer to intentionally or recklessly causing, or attempting to cause, injury to another person or placing them in fear of death or imminent serious harm. While misdemeanor convictions can lead to jail sentences of months or even a year, first-time offenders often avoid jail time. Instead, they might receive some combination of probation, community service, fines and restitution to the victims.

As with the felony charges, video evidence of McGregor throwing objects would be used against him as proof of assault, reckless endangerment and the other misdemeanors. Assuming the facial, optical and knuckle injuries suffered by Chiesa, Borg and the unnamed UFC employee, respectively, are proven to have occurred as a result of the melee (and are not pre-existing), McGregor’s actions would be directly connected to those injuries.
