Mixed martial arts star, Conor McGregor has been ordered to pay the legal fees — reportedly potentially as much as €1,000,000 of Nikita Hand, after the Dublin fighter was found civilly liable of assaulting the plaintiff who accused him of rape following an alleged incident at the Beacon Hotel in Dublin back in December 2018.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, appeared at the High Court in the capital this morning, where sitting Judge Alexander Owens ordered the 36-year-old to pay the legal costs incurred by Hand in relation to the civil case heard last month.
