Court Rejects Conor McGregor’s Appeal in Compensation Case
Conor McGregor has lost his bid to overturn a jury’s ruling that he must compensate a woman who accused him of sexual assault, after Ireland’s Court of Appeal dismissed his appeal entirely.
The case stems from allegations made by Nikita Hand, who claimed the fighter assaulted her on 9 December 2018. Last year, a jury ordered McGregor to pay her approximately €250,000 in damages.
McGregor, 36, denied the allegations, stating that the encounter was consensual. He also rejected claims that he caused any injuries to Hand.
