Amid the ongoing legal and financial issues surrounding UFC megastar, Conor McGregor, reports today revealed how long-time fiancee, Dee Devlin resigned from her position as secretary at the Dublin mixed martial arts fighter’s company, ‘McGregor Sports and Entertainment’ earlier this annum.
McGregor, a former undisputed lightweight and featherweight champion under the banner of the UFC, has been embroiled in mass controversy this month, appearing in the High Court earlier this month, where he was found civilly liable of assault against Nikita Hand, following an alleged rape at the Beacon Hotel in December, 2018.
Found civlly liable by a jury of twelve, McGregor, 36, was furthermore ordered to pay Ms Hand almost €250,000 in damages as a result, before the Crumlin native claimed he planned to “appeal” the decision levelled against him.
“People want to hear from me, I needed time,” Conor McGregor posted on X. “I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches. I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.
As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision.
I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym – the fight game awaits!”
