Conor McGregor testified in Dublin on Wednesday, denying allegations of rape made by Nikita Hand, who claims he assaulted her in a hotel room in December 2018. McGregor described the accusations as "lies" and stated that their encounter was consensual. During his testimony, McGregor claimed that Hand initiated contact and that they engaged in consensual sex. He disputed many details of Hand's account, including her claims of force and coercion. Hand's co-worker, Danielle Kealey, also testified, stating she did not notice anything wrong when Hand emerged from the hotel room. The civil trial is expected to continue for about two weeks.
