Conor McGregor is accused of raping a woman following Game 4 of the NBA Finals earlier this month.

According to a report from TMZ Sports, the incident allegedly occurred after the Denver Nuggets’ win over the Miami Heat on June 9. McGregor made headlines that same night after sending the Heat mascot, Burnie, to the hospital after a stunt went wrong while promoting his Tidl Sport recovery spray.

Per the report, demand letters authored by Ariel Mitchell, a South Florida-based attorney, were sent to Conor McGregor, the NBA, and the Miami Heat earlier this week claiming that the MMA megastar had “violently” sexually assaulted a woman inside a men’s bathroom.
