Behind the mystique and the billion-dollar brand, a darker side of Conor McGregor has emerged. The Irishman has taken a massive hit, not from a punch in the octagon, but from the courtroom. A conviction that reveals a troubling pattern of behavior has sparked serious questions about the man behind the legend. Amid the controversy surrounding his guilty verdict on rape charges, one big name has stepped up—Andrew Tate has backed McGregor.
Nikita Hand accused Conor McGregor of ra**ng her in a Dublin hotel six years ago and won a High Court civil suit for damages. Meanwhile, McGregor denied the allegations of “brutally ra*ing and battering” her and vowed to appeal the decision. While the internet roasted McGregor, Andrew Tate—no stranger to his own drama with similar charges—jumped in to back the Irishman.
On X, Tate slammed the ruling against McGregor, calling it “bullshit.” He argued that women sleep with wealthy men and later accuse them when those men don’t provide financial support. Additionally, Tate claimed this reflects narcissism and a refusal to accept rejection. He warned that the case sets a dangerous precedent for men in the Western world.

Their brutal narcissism can't take the L of being undesired.
We've set a dangerous precedent.

Not just Tate but UFC veteran Jake Shields also came to McGregor’s defense. While Shields admitted he’s not on great terms with McGregor, he made it clear he wouldn’t back Nikita’s claims. Now, the internet stands divided, with people taking sides on the controversial issue.
