The verdict in Conor
McGregor’s civil lawsuit has incited some strong reactions from
several prominent figures in the combat sports community.

The Dublin High Court on Friday
found McGregor liable for the sexual assault of Nikita Hand in
2018. While Hand had claimed that McGregor and James Lawrence raped
her that night, the court didn’t find Lawrence liable for sexual
assault. “Notorious” has been ordered to pay 248,603.60 euros
($259,025) to Hand in damages. The former
UFC two-division champ was not found guilty of any charges, as
it was civil lawsuit. Breaking his silence on the topic, McGregor
has vowed to appeal the decision.

Former foes Khabib
Nurmagomedov and Dustin
Poirier, who have never been on the best of terms with
McGregor, reacted to the news.

“The Eagle” shared an ESPN article about the McGregor verdict on
social media. Meanwhile, “The Diamond” reposted a fan’s tweet
thanking him for knocking out McGregor in the past.

Former UFC fighter and current BKFC star Mike Perry
also didn’t miss the chance to get back at McGregor. McGregor, who
is a part owner of the BKFC, had previously said that Perry was
fired after he lost a boxing match against Jake
Paul.

The aforementioned Paul also called out McGregor while mentioning UFC CEO
Dana White in a since-deleted Tweet.

“Dana hits his wife. Conor’s convicted of rape. But I’m the bad
guy?” Paul wrote.

“McGregor” responded to the YouTuber-turned-boxer, although he
immediately deleted the tweet as well.

“No, you’re a little gay nerd,” McGregor wrote.

McGregor hasn’t fought in more than three years since breaking his
leg in his trilogy loss against Poirier in July 2021. While the
Irishman was scheduled to return to action against Michael
Chandler at UFC 303 this past June, he pulled out due to a toe
injury.
