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.” The case involves claims from Nikita Hand regarding an incident in December 2018. McGregor stated that his encounter with Hand was consensual and rejected accusations of using force. He also denied causing any bruising, countering claims made by Hand's lawyer about marks left on her skin. The trial, which began last week, is expected to last two weeks. Hand alleges that McGregor assaulted her after a Christmas party, while her lawyer noted she was under the influence of drugs and antidepressants at the time.
