It was only a matter of time before Conor McGregor fired back from losing his appeal Thursday.
The former UFC champion had his appeal from his civil sexual assault lawsuit “dismissed on all grounds” in Dublin. McGregor was accused of sexually assaulting Nakita Hand in a Dublin hotel in 2018, and after the jury handed down their verdict, McGregor was ordered to pay Hand €250,000 ($284,897.04).
McGregor, who didn’t appear in court for the appeal, had a lengthy statement on X on Friday morning.
James Lawrence awarded his clearance (I won’t say innocence because we were both long prior to this shake down awarded this)

He was awarded his clearance in a civil trial but he was not awarded his costs!
How incredibly wrong!
To be accused of rape, win your innocence, and…

To be accused of rape, win your innocence, and then be hit with the collosal bill of your defense while the lawyers and accuser who done the case against you, and lost, get their money.
I don’t think I have ever heard the likes of this.
You are out of your fucking mind if you think I am paying James Lawrence legal costs, folks.
Who said I was paying his fees?
I said I didn’t know if I was, when the accusers barrister asked me on the stand, as I didn’t.
(who is paying his own fees I should have asked him at that time) ???
I was on the stand in a world of fog being accused of a crime I didn’t commit, and that I was actually cleared of criminally, and exonerated by every witness present, as well as believed twice over by the public prosecutor, but still up on a stand civilly, in absolute shock.
Some say the case never went criminal because there was “lack of evidence” that is not the case. It is the opposite! There was soo much evidence! They had HOURS OF FOOTAGE OF THE “VICTIM” AFTER THE SUPPOSED ATTEMPTED MURDER AND RAPE OF HER. Partying away, messaging away. Leaving the hotel / coming back etc. up and down, in the lobby of the hotel, absolutely everywhere and back. And twice. Not a fucking bother. Smiling, laughing, dancing, kissing, biting, play fighting.
It’s some watch.
I was home HOURS and this is all going on.
All seen CLEARLY with ALL THE CCTV FOOTAGE, and backed up by MULTIPLE EYE WITNESSES.
I wasnt even allowed to introduce crucial evidence that was apart of the criminal investigation / decision to bin it.
It’s been some eye opener this entire process, I tell you that good folks.
What has taken place here throughout these twice thrown in the bin criminal accusations is an absolute travesty!
How people sleep at night is beyond me.
I’m sure they don’t. Not soundly anyway, no way. Impossible.
To falsely accuse someone of rape and lose, then attempt to ignore that fact/brush it under the rug is truly heinous on another level!
Regards the new claim of the witnesses who came forward, I welcome it.
I believed their claim, as portions of it was verified through the response affidavit to it. Stephen Redmond burst out the door and skidded off after they had their fight. This part was verified in the response affidavit. For the witnesses to guess this exit would be impossible imo. The beginning of the fight was also verified on video record when Nikita assaulted Stephen and Stephen told her to stop hitting him. Nikita then got aggressive and said “I won’t fucking stop” it’s all there on the recording. Then the recording stops. What happened after? It just ended after that? Little calm exit? The witnesses said they seen what happened after. Where was Stephen in the ambulance? And ever again after that? It’s obvious they had a major, major fight!
Why these two witnesses were not called, i will never know.
It was on the very morning of. They were present and very eager to testify.
It seemed they were pulled out of fear from my appointed team tbh. For what I don’t know. These people said they seen something, let us all hear. If it’s legit, great, it sounds very legit to me. If it’s not, it’s on them.
Even Stephen, why he was never called originally also!
I am happy this is still ongoing.
Hopefully we hear from all.
I fight on with the truth and will continue to defend myself.
Ireland, amidst this SHAKE DOWN don’t let it distract you.
You can see what I am up against here and we knew this would always be the case.
WE FIGHT ON!
Hand released her own statement after the decision Thursday.
“This appeal has retraumatized me over and over again, being forced to relive it, what happened has had a huge impact on me,” Hand said outside court.
“To every survivor out there, I know how hard it is, but please, don’t be silenced. You deserve to be heard, you also deserve justice. Today, I can finally move on and try to heal,” Hand added.
