In Ireland, a civil sexual assault case involving Conor McGregor revealed serious allegations against the UFC star. The court held that McGregor was liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a hotel in December 2018, during which she claimed he brutally raped and battered her. The jury, composed of twelve members, awarded Hand over $398,000 in damages while McGregor expressed disappointment with the verdict and announced intentions to appeal. Following this ruling, Colin Fassnidge, a judge on 'My Kitchen Rules', publicly criticized McGregor and faced backlash from his fans, some of whom defended the fighter's conduct. Meanwhile, Hand expressed hopes that her case would inspire other assault victims to seek justice, demonstrating resilience against powerful individuals.
