And an order from the High Court in January directed McGregor not to share footage shown to the court on the night of the alleged incident. The MMA fighter was also told to give back or destroy any copies he had. Mr Justice Alexander Owens ordered McGregor to swear an affidavit setting out in detail how he had done so.

And according to RTE in Ireland, McGregor has now filed a brief affidavit outlining that he has deleted the footage. It also reportedly states that he intends to file a more detailed affidavit before the matter comes back to court next month. Mr Justice Owens said a jury had determined that McGregor assaulted Nikita Hand on 9 December 2018 in the Beacon Hotel in Dublin.

She was awarded €250,000 (£210,000) in damages. The judge said the issue was conclusively determined by the jury against McGregor and would remain the position unless the Irishman persuaded a higher court to overturn the verdict. McGregor has publicly vowed to appeal the court's decision.
The judge said it was not open to McGregor to make contrary claims or selectively use bits and pieces of evidence in the public arena to suit himself. Additionally, the judge said there was a real and demonstrable risk that McGregor would provide the footage to an Italian business associate - Gabriel Ernesto Rapisarda.
