Conor McGregor has lost his appeal of a civil jury’s finding in favour of Dublin woman Nikita Hand, who had accused him of rape. The MMA fighter lost his appeal on all five grounds that the case was taken.

Conor McGregor has made a number of misleading claims - after losing his appeal of a civil finding that he raped Nikita Hand. In a lengthy and rambling post on social media platform X, McGregor sensationally stated that he has no intention of paying the legal fees of James Lawrence - who the High court previously heard he referred to his solicitors and admitted paying his bills.

MMA fighter Conor McGregor lost his appeal in a civil rape case stemming from an incident in 2018. McGregor, 37, was found liable in November in a civil rape and sexual assault case and ordered to pay his accuser, Nikita Hand, about $257,000.
