Irish MMA fighter Conor McGregor, in a Dublin court, denied allegations that he sexually assaulted Nikita Hand in 2018, asserting the accusations are "full of lies" and that their encounter was consensual. Hand alleges that McGregor, along with another man, assaulted her on December 9, 2018, after meeting him at a work Christmas party and going to a hotel penthouse where drugs and alcohol were present. Hand’s lawyer claims her injuries were documented by medical staff the day after the alleged incident. The trial, which includes testimony from McGregor, is expected to last two weeks
