Manager Says Conor McGregor ‘Vehemently Denies’ Sexual Assault Allegations

Other than a couple of brief statements from a representative, Conor McGregor and his team have been largely silent regarding the sexual assault allegations levied against the UFC star.

That changed on Monday, when manager Audie Attar, founder of Paradigm Sports Management, addressed those concerns during an appearance on "Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show” on Monday. Speaking on behalf of McGregor, Attar said that the fighter “vehemently denies any allegation of sexual misconduct or any wrongdoing.”

"The thing about Conor is when he makes a mistake, he owns up to it, He’s a global icon, but he's also a polarizing figure," Attar said.
