Game developer IO Interactive announced Monday that they are cutting ties with former UFC champion Conor McGregor following Friday's Irish civil court ruling that found McGregor liable for sexually assaulting a woman named Nikita Hand at Dublin hotel in 2018.
McGregor's voice and likeness were featured in IO Interactive's "Hitman: World of Assassination" as The Disruptor, one of the game's Elusive Targets. The company made the announcement through the "Hitman" social media account on X.
In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately.
