Former two-weight UFC champion, Conor McGregor has hit out at polarizing skilled boxer and arch-rival, Jake Paul after he was discovered responsible of assaulting Nikita Hand in a civil rape case in Dublin in the present day — referring to the Ohio striker as a “gay nerd” in a homophobic publish on his social media.
McGregor, who appeared within the Excessive Courtroom this morning within the Irish capital, was discovered responsible of assault towards plaintiff, Ms Hand — who accused him and his co-defendant, James Lawrence of Rafter’s Highway, Drimnagh of rape throughout an alleged incident on the Beacon Resort in December, 2018.
Ordered to pay Ms Hand damages in relation to the civil case close to the quantity of €250,000 — McGregor launched a press release following the reaching of the decision confirming how he plans to attraction the choice made by the sitting jury of eight girls and 4 males.
“I will be appealing today’s decision,” Conor McGregor posted on his official X account in a now deleted tweet. “The judge’s instruction and the modest award given was for assault, not for aggravated or exemplary damages. I am disappointed that the jury did not hear all the evidence that the DPP reviewed. I am with my family now, focused on my future. Thank you to all my support worldwide.”
