A civil trial spanning nearly two weeks finally reached its conclusion. The jury found Conor McGregor liable for damages in a case involving Nikita Hand. The court ordered him to pay a substantial sum of €248,603.60, a verdict that would shake anyone’s world. But for McGregor, this was more than just a financial blow – it was a public reckoning with his personal choices.
In a raw and uncharacteristically vulnerable social media statement, McGregor broke his silence. He acknowledged the pain he had caused and publicly apologized to his fiance, Dee Devlin. His words carried a weight of genuine remorse, recognizing the profound impact of his actions.
“People want to hear from me, I needed time. I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me,” said McGregor via X.

McGregor maintained that the encounter was consensual, a claim supported by witness testimony. However, the jury’s decision told a different story. Undeterred, he announced plans to appeal, showcasing the fighter’s trademark resilience in the face of adversity.
The fallout extended beyond the courtroom. IO Interactive, the developers of the Hitman video game series, immediately terminated its collaboration with McGregor. This swift corporate response highlighted the potential long-term consequences of his actions.

Conor McGregor was seen in full party mode, and he decided to grab a random woman’s ponytail because, apparently, that was a totally normal thing to do. The crowd watched but then entered Dee Devlin, McGregor’s fiance, who was not about to let this slide.
In a split second, Devlin stepped between McGregor and the woman, effectively putting an end to his inappropriate behavior. McGregor, realizing he’d crossed a line, quickly let go. But true to his chaotic nature, his solution was equally ridiculous – he proceeded to playfully smack Devlin’s behind and grab her hair, too.
