Source – The victim, Ni Lamhain, said that McGregor “brutally raped and battered” her following a night of partying at a Dublin hotel in December 2018, per ABC News. The incident reportedly left Lamhain with extreme bruising and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
McGregor contended during the trial that the encounter was entirely consensual.
A civil court in Ireland has awarded a woman more than $250,000 after finding that MMA fighter Conor McGregor sexually assaulted her in the penthouse of a local establishment.
During her testimony, the victim said that McGregor had put her in a chokehold and told her, “Now you know how I felt in the octagon where I tapped out three times,” a reference to an Ultimate Fighting Championship match in which McGregor was forced to admit defeat.
“He let me go and I remember saying I was sorry, as I felt that I did something wrong and I wanted to reassure him that I wouldn’t tell anyone so he wouldn’t hurt me again,” Lamhain testified.
She added that she feared for her life, believing McGregor would kill her and she would never again see her young daughter.
The two controversial combat sports stars have been feuding online for several years. ‘The Problem Child’ would love to settle their differences in the boxing ring, but their height and weight differences may prevent that.
While a meeting in the squared circle may never come to fruition between the two, that hasn’t stopped Conor McGregor and Jake Paul going at it on social media.
After being found guilty of sexually assaulting Nikita Hand, the public was quick to lash out at McGregor—Paul being one of those in question.
“Dana [White] hits his wife, Conor’s convicted of rape, but I’m the bad guy?” Paul said in a post referencing the sexual assault case against McGregor.
Despite insisting his time would now be spent with his family until his formal appeal against the civil court’s decision was resolved, the Irishman was quick to respond.
The 27-year-old believes that opponent to be Conor McGregor. The Ohio native hinted at an open-weight affair against McGregor, which he would love to see take place in the PFL SmartCage.
Jake Paul is partnered with the Professional Fighters League and has teased an MMA fight in the past. While fans would undoubtedly be intrigued, McGregor’s ongoing legal issue along with his UFC contract prevents him from competing for the time being.
