Conor McGregor Appeals Sexual Assault Verdict in Dublin Court

The UFC star seeks to overturn a €248,000 ruling in a civil case while facing fallout from multiple allegations and lost endorsements.

Conor McGregor has filed an appeal against a Dublin High Court verdict that found him liable for sexual assault in a 2018 incident, resulting in a €248,000 ($257,000) damages order.
McGregor maintains the encounter with the plaintiff, Nikita Hand, was consensual, but the jury ruled against him in November 2024.
The verdict has significantly impacted McGregor's public image and business ventures, with companies like Proximo Spirits and IO Interactive cutting ties with him.
McGregor is also facing a separate civil lawsuit in Florida stemming from allegations of sexual battery during the 2023 NBA Finals, though no criminal charges were filed in that case.
The outcomes of both cases could have lasting implications for McGregor's career and reputation, as he continues to deny all allegations.
