Conor McGregor Files Appeal To Overturn S*xual Assault Verdict In Ireland

Conor McGregor Files Appeal To Overturn S*xual Assault Verdict In Ireland

Conor McGregor has officially appealed the verdict of his recent civil assault case in Ireland, aiming to overturn a jury’s November decision.

Sources tell TMZ Sports that McGregor filed his appeal last Friday (Feb. 14), challenging the ruling that found him liable for sexually assaulting Nikita Ni Lamhain (also known as Nikita Hand). The case stemmed from Ni Lamhain’s lawsuit, in which she accused McGregor of assaulting her after a 2018 Christmas party.

The fighter was ordered to pay $250,000 in damages but denied any wrongdoing.

Following the jury’s decision, McGregor vowed to fight on, posting on Twitter,

“On we fight! Justice and truth will prevail! Appeal! Appeal! Appeal!”

His partner, Dee Devlin, also expressed support on Instagram, calling Ni Lamhain a liar and stating,

“My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world.”

The ruling has already led McGregor to lose several business deals, including Proper No. 12 and the “Hitman” video game.
