Overview
- Senior Judge Joan A. Lenard dismissed the federal case on Dec. 3 after the accuser filed a notice of voluntary dismissal the day prior.
- The dismissal was entered with prejudice, which prevents the plaintiff from refiling the same federal claims, and the filing offered no further explanation.
- Prosecutors in Miami-Dade had previously declined to pursue criminal charges related to the alleged 2023 incident at the Kaseya Center.
- The Miami Heat and the arena operator were initially named when the suit was filed in January 2025 but were later removed from the federal action as the plaintiff indicated venue-related claims might be pursued in state court.
- McGregor denies the allegation; he was found civilly liable in an unrelated 2018 case in Ireland and is serving an 18‑month, backdated anti-doping suspension that could make him eligible to fight by March, with a potential White House event in June reported but not confirmed.
