Conor McGregor is opposing an assault lawsuit that ruled the victim's victim. The UFC star has formally filed an appeal after an Irish jury found he was held liable for Nikita's sexual assault in December 2018. The 12-day trial ended in November. In 2023, McGregor was ordered to pay about $250,000 in losses. In addition, the judge ruled that McGregor had to repay Hand's legal fees. McGregor filed an appeal last Friday, marking his first step in fighting the ruling, according to a BBC report. Following the verdict, McGregor faces swift consequences. Proximo Spirits, the parent company of the right Twelve Whiskey, has a relationship with him becoming a brand ambassador. Additionally, IO Interactive removed McGregor's character from its popular “Hitman” video game series. Despite the jury's decision, McGregor firmly denied any wrongdoing. He went to social media many times to attack the hands and criticize the ruling, keeping his innocence. Likewise, McGregor is caught in another legal battle. Jane Doe recently filed a civil lawsuit in the Miami District Court for accusing him of sexual misconduct in the 2023 NBA Finals game hosted by the Miami Heat. The alleged battery in the case was filed last month.
