Undisputed lightweight champion, Islam Makhachev has taken aim at arch-rival and UFC star, Conor McGregor after yesterday’s verdict in his civil rape case made by plaintiff, Nikita Hand — labelling him a “filthy b*stard” and “rapist” in an expletive-filled post on social media.
McGregor, who appeared in the High Court yesterday evening, was found civilly liable of assaulting Ms Hand by a jury of twelve, and ordered to pay an amount close to €250,000 in damages to the plaintiff.
Sharing his thoughts on the verdict in the aftermath of his appearance in the capital court, McGregor, who was accompanied by his long-time fiancee, Dee Devlin, and his mother, Margaret McGregor — claimed he would appeal the ruling, and was “disappointed” with the jury’s decision.
