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.

After he left court, McGregor announced on X that he plans to appeal the verdict and what he called a "modest award."

A jury in Ireland decided Friday that UFC star Conor McGregor sexually assaulted a woman in Dublin in 2018 and must pay nearly $260,000 in damages in a civil case.
