Conor McGregor lost a civil rape case in Ireland, with the court ordering him to pay €248,000 ($257,000) to his accuser, Nikita Hand. McGregor denied the allegations and plans to appeal the ruling. Following the verdict, several companies, including retailers and a game developer, announced they would sever ties with McGregor. The National Wax Museum in Dublin also removed his figure from display. Despite these developments, McGregor remains a prominent figure in the UFC and has not faced criminal charges. His potential return to fighting may not be significantly affected, as he continues to have a loyal fan base.
