A woman who accused Conor McGregor of raping her has won her claim against him for damages in a civil case.

A jury found that the Irish mixed martial arts fighter attacked Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.

He has been ordered to pay her more than €248,000 in damages.

Speaking outside court on Friday, Ms Hand said her story was "a reminder that no matter how afraid you may be to speak, you have a voice".

In a post on X on Friday evening, McGregor said he would appeal the decision and thanked "all the support around the world".

"Now I'm with my family, focused on my future," he added.

The jury at the High Court in Dublin had been deliberating for a day before returning its verdict that McGregor had assaulted Ms Hand.

She had also brought a case against another man, James Lawrence, 35, of Rafter's Road, Drimnagh in Dublin.

She claimed he assaulted her by having sex with her without her consent at the Beacon Hotel.

The jury found that Mr. Lawrence had not attacked her.
