Conor McGregor has lost his appeal of a civil jury verdict in favor of a woman who claimed she was raped by the UFC fighter in Dublin, Ireland in December 2018.

Nikita Hand accused McGregor, 37, of rape on December 9, 2018. In the trial that ended in November 2024, the Irish UFC star was ordered to pay her about 206,000 euros in restitution. At the time, he maintained his innocence, referring to their encounter as “fully consensual sex." He also denied causing her any bruising.
