MMA fighter Conor McGregor, who lost a civil rape case on Friday, has said he will instruct his legal team to appeal the verdict, as large crowds in Dublin showed support to the woman involved in the case.

A civil jury in Ireland has awarded more than $250,000 to a woman who says she was raped by mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel penthouse after a night of heavy partying.

A civil suit filed in Ireland alleged that McGregor had sex with a woman without her consent in 2018 in Dublin. McGregor says he will appeal.

Nikita Hand, the woman who accused Conor McGregor of a 2018 sexual assault in a civil case in Dublin High Court, has won her case against the UFC superstar. The jury returned their verdict on Friday morning.

The mixed martial arts fighter known as “Notorious” was ordered to pay the equivalent of about $260,000 to a woman who said he raped her in 2018.

A day after being found liable of assault during a sexual encounter, former UFC champion Conor McGregor called his a accuser a "vicious liar."

Hitman developer IO Interactive is distancing itself and its popular franchise from controversial mixed marital arts fighter Conor McGregor following a recent Irish High Court ruling in which a jury found him liable for sexually assaulting a woman in 2018.

McGregor was found liable after being accused of "brutally" raping and battering a woman named Nikita Hand while she was intoxicated in Dec. 2018
