Conor McGregor denies allegations of sexual assault and claims the relationship was consensual, although he has been found guilty and must pay compensation.

The case involves allegations made by Nikita Hand, who claims she was sexually assaulted by Conor McGregor on December 9, 2018. In his appeal, 36-year-old McGregor denied the allegations, saying there was a consensual sexual relationship between them and that he did not cause injury to the victim. In November 2024, he was found guilty of rape and ordered by a jury to pay about €250,000 in damages.
