McGregor faced the accusations earlier this month. The woman’s attorney, Ariel Mitchell, said her client provided Miami police with the clothing she was wearing that night and that a report was filed. The alleged incident came on the same night McGregor punched Miami Heat mascot Burnie.

Mitchell claimed that security separated the woman from her friends and forced her into a bathroom where McGregor was allegedly waiting, according to the New York Post. A video also surfaced later showing McGregor and the victim at a club following the game. The woman and McGregor were seen talking and then he leaves the scene. 

Mitchell told TMZ Sports that the video showed the two "visibly awkwardly interacting with each other."

McGregor has maintained his innocence.

"Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated," attorney Barbara Llanes said when the allegations first surfaced.
