Video – Galway gym removes mural depicting UFC star Conor McGregor amid civil rape case verdict

A gym in Galway, Ireland has painted over a mural depicting former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor from its walls — with facility owner, Gary Scully revealing he urged his staff to remove the painting from the facility following the verdict in the mixed martial arts fighter’s civil rape case.

McGregor, who appeared in the High Court in the capital last week, was found civilly liable of assaulting Nikita Hand during an alleged incident of rape at the Beacon Hotel in December, 2018 — where he was then ordered to pay almost €250,000 in damages to the plaintiff.
