UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman after the NBA Finals game between Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets earlier this month.
The woman's lawyer, Ariel Mitchell, said her client has provided Miami police with the clothing she was wearing that night and that a report was filed.
McGregor’s lawyer said the fighter denied any wrongdoing. “Mr McGregor will not be intimidated,” said Barbara Llanes. In letters sent to the NBA, the Heat and McGregor's representatives, Mitchell detailed her client's allegations and said the client would discuss "reasonable settlement offers" before June 12 or else proceed with litigation. “We are aware of the allegations and are conducting a full investigation," read a statement from the Heat. "Pending the outcome of the investigation, we will withhold further comment.” The NBA released a similar statement, saying it was working with the Heat to gather information.
The City of Miami Police said an investigation had been opened. UFC issued a statement saying it was aware of the allegations against McGregor, adding that it "will continue to gather additional details regarding the incident.
