Conor McGregor denied allegations of sexual assault in a Dublin court on Wednesday. He described the civil case against him and another man as "full of lies." McGregor claimed that his encounter with the plaintiff, Nikita Hand, was consensual. Hand alleges that McGregor assaulted her in December 2018 after a Christmas party. She testified that McGregor took her to a hotel penthouse where drugs and alcohol were involved. Hand's lawyer stated that a doctor noted injuries when she sought treatment the following day. This is McGregor's first time testifying in the trial, which is expected to last two weeks. The judge is overseeing a jury of eight women and four men.
