Conor McGregor lashed out at the alleged rapist on social media after being found guilty of assault.
An Irish judge ruled that Conor McGregor sexually assaulted a woman in a private after party night in 2018, but McGregor says the allegations are false.
The former UFC champion said, in the now cleared space, that he would appeal the judge’s decision, but commented on X earlier on Saturday about his accuser’s “lies”.
The accuser, Nikita Hand, also accused a third athlete, James Lawrence, of assaulting him on the same night that McGregor was accused of “raping and beating” him brutally.

Although the court ordered McGregor to pay more than $250,000, it also found Lawrence innocent.
“Justice has been served for James Lawrence, yes! It’s sad what they’ve done. Nikita’s hand, a vicious liar! LOOK!” McGregor tweeted on Saturday morning retweeting a story from the Irish Independent.
McGregor also wrote that Hand “falsely accused a man of rape and lost.”
“Two men were falsely accused. One is confirmed, the other will appear soon! Congratulations to James Lawrence for his complete acquittal!” McGregor wrote in another post. “This bad case was doubled against you and presented with LIES! LIES! What they put here is disgraceful. Disgraceful! I look forward to seeing you continue to defend yourself and criticize those involved in court! We know! what happened that night! Everyone there knows, yet it was ignored.
Lawrence himself wrote in an Instagram Story that Hand is “an absolute disgrace and a slap in the face to any girl who has ever thrown it. [sic] this is true.”

CONOR MCGREGOR FOUND LIABLE FOR SEX ASSASSINATION IN IRELAND COURT
Hand said McGregor injured her during sex, until the paramedics testified that she had never seen anyone with this type of injury. He also said that McGregor put him in the cage several times and told him, “Now you know how I felt in the octagon where I got out three times.”
McGregor said the two had sex that was athletic and vigorous but not violent. He said he “did not say, ‘No’ or stop,” and testified that everything he said was a lie.
McGregor was previously suspected sexually assaulting someone in the bathroom in the NBA Finals in 2022, but avoided charges.
