UFC Star Conor McGregor Loses Appeal In Civil Sexual Assault Case

Conor McGregor has lost his appeal in his civil sexual assault case. A Court of Appeal in Dublin, Ireland, rejected the UFC superstar's appeal on Thursday morning with a three-judge panel reportedly dismissing his claim "in its entirety. McGregor was sued by Nikita Hand several years ago, alleging the famed fighter forced himself on her at a hotel following a 2018 Christmas party. McGregor vehemently denied the allegations but in November, a jury found him liable for assault. The 37-year-old was ordered to pay roughly $250,000 in damages. McGregor launched his appeal in February after he adamantly stated on his X page, "Justice and truth will prevail!" Hand was reportedly in attendance for the judges' ruling Thursday. McGregor was not. Conor has spent the majority of his summer on a yacht  and was just recently seen drinking a beer on the open waters to celebrate his bar surviving a fire. So far, no public comment from him on Thursday's ruling.
