Conor McGregor hits back at Jake Paul with homophobic slur amid guilty verdict in civil rape case

Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has hit out at polarizing professional boxer and arch-rival, Jake Paul after he was found guilty of assaulting Nikita Hand in a civil rape case in Dublin today — referring to the Ohio striker as a “gay nerd” in a homophobic post on his social media.

McGregor, who appeared in the High Court this morning in the Irish capital, was found guilty of assault against plaintiff, Ms Hand — who accused him and his co-defendant, James Lawrence of Rafter’s Road, Drimnagh of rape during an alleged incident at the Beacon Hotel in December, 2018.
