C onor McGregor – the ‘Notorious’ face of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) – has once again found himself mired in controversy as serious allegations of sexual assault cast a shadow over his anticipated return to the sport.
Last week, the Irish mixed martial artist was accused of assaulting an unnamed woman at the Kaseya Center in Miami during Game 4 of the NBA finals.
In a demand letter, attorney Ariel Mitchell described her client’s alleged encounter with McGregor, which took place in the VIP men’s bathroom.
The letter also claimed that McGregor was “aided and abetted by the NBA and Miami Heat Kaseya security.” In a statement, Miami Heat revealed the organization is “aware of the allegations” and is “conducting a full investigation.” The NBA is assisting the Heat while the Miami Police revealed it is investigating a report filed Sunday.
