Conor McGregor, an MMA fighter already accused of sexual assault four times, faces another accusation, this time in the U.S.
McGregor is accused of sexually assaulting a woman at an NBA Finals game this month in Miami. McGregor’s accuser immediately contacted police after the alleged incident, saying she was separated from her friend by NBA security and then forced into a men’s bathroom in a VIP tent, where McGregor “aggressively kissed her” and then tried to force her into sex acts. TMZ first reported the accusation late this week.
McGregor denied the claim through his attorney. The 34-year-old Irish-born professional mixed martial artist has already been accused of sexual assault four times outside the U.S., according to ESPN.
On top of being an accused sexual predator, McGregor has regularly spewed racist and homophobic vitriol. "Do you know what I'm saying? He was a [f slur], and everyone knew he was a [f slur],” McGregor said of boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr., in 2017. Mayweather defeated him in a boxing match that year. He also called Mayweather, 11 years his senior, “boy.”
Among his long list of atrocious statements was his taunting of Brazilian fighter Jose Aldo, with McGregor saying, “"When I'm done [fighting him], I’m going to turn his favela into a Reebok sweatshop."
