Conor McGregor appeared in court on Tuesday as a civil trial began over sexual assault allegations made by Nikita Ni Lamhain. The case stems from a 2018 incident following a Christmas party in Ireland. Nikita claims McGregor and another man assaulted her at a hotel after she had been drinking and using drugs. She testified about the alleged assault and injuries she sustained, which were confirmed by a doctor. Both McGregor and the co-defendant deny the allegations, asserting that any interactions were consensual. The trial is expected to last about two weeks, with proceedings continuing on Wednesday.
