Reacting to last week’s verdict in the civil rape case involving arch-rival, Conor McGregor — former UFC star, Khabib Nurmagomedov has claimed the ex-two-weight titleholder “deserves punishment”, after he was found civilly liable of assaulting plaintiff, Nikita Hand.
McGregor, who appeared in the High Court last week, was found civilly liable of assaulting Ms Hand — who alleges the Dublin mixed martial arts fighter raped her during an alleged incident at the Beacon Hotel in December, 2018.
Found civilly liable by a jury of twelve, Conor McGregor was then ordered to pay almost €250,000 in damages to Ms Hand, however, has confirmed plans to launch an appeal against the verdict levelled against him.
