onor McGregor, one of UFC’s most iconic and controversial figures, has been found liable for assaulting a woman in a Dublin hotel six years ago. The court ordered the former UFC champion to pay £200,000 in damages to Nikita Hand, who accused the fighter of rape. The verdict has added to the polarizing figure’s already turbulent public image.
From Fighting Stardom to Legal Battles
McGregor, now 36, burst onto the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) scene in 2013 after beginning his professional career in 2008. His meteoric rise included winning the UFC featherweight and lightweight titles, earning him global recognition and a massive fan following. However, his career has been marred by controversies both inside and outside the octagon.
The fighter last competed in 2021, but his fame—and infamy—have kept him in the public eye. His high-profile boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in 2017 further bolstered his net worth, reportedly earning him hundreds of millions of dollars.
Lavish Lifestyle and Personal Life
McGregor enjoys a luxurious lifestyle with his fiancée, Dee Devlin, and their four children. The couple has been together since before McGregor’s rise to fame, with Devlin often credited as a pillar of support throughout his career.
While Conor McGregor’s legal troubles continue to make headlines, his achievements in the fighting world remain unparalleled. The recent assault ruling, however, raises questions about the dichotomy between his celebrated career and his personal conduct.
