In November, a woman won a claim against the UFC star, having accused McGregor of raping her in 2018. Former UFC champion Conor McGregor is to appeal the verdict of a civil rape case, after a woman won a claim against him in November. Nikita Hand accused McGregor, 36, of “battering” and “brutally raping” her in a Dublin hotel room in 2018, and a jury in November found that the Irishman had assaulted her.
McGregor was ordered to pay Hand more than €248,000 in damages, and to pay the costs of taking the civil action against him. McGregor has always denied the allegations against him. The Independent has approached a representative of McGregor for comment. McGregor has not fought since July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg in a second straight loss to Dustin Poirier, who knocked him out in January 2021. The Irishman last won a fight in January 2020, when he stopped Donald Cerrone in 40 seconds.
