UFC CEO, Dana White claimed overnight that if he had a comment to issue regarding the recent civil rape case involving former two-weight promotional champion, Conor McGregor, he would have already issued one — pointing to the Dubliner’s inactivity in the Octagon.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion in the UFC, was found civilly liable of assault against Nikita Hand during a lawsuit in the High Court last month, with the plaintiff alleging the mixed martial arts fighter raped her during an incident at the Beacon Hotel in December 2018.
Ordered to pay damages of almost €250,000 to the plaintiff by a jury of twelve in the Irish capital, earlier this week, McGregor was also ordered by sitting Judge Alexander Owens to pay the court fees and cost of Ms Hand — which could amount to reportedly €1,000,000 according to reports.
