Conor McGregor testifies in Dublin civil trial over assault allegations
Conor McGregor is currently on trial in Dublin, facing a civil case brought by Nikita Hand, who claims he assaulted her in December 2018. Both McGregor and co-defendant James Lawrence deny the allegations. On the stand, McGregor described Hand's claims as "lies" and stated their sexual encounter was consensual. He suggested that her bruises might have resulted from her diving into a bath. The trial is in its seventh day, with cross-examination of McGregor continuing. He had missed the morning session due to a stomach issue.
