A woman's damages claim for alleged assault against Mixed Martial Arts star Conor McGregor, which was lodged against the celebrity fighter three years ago, is to go before a High Court jury next month.

At the High Court on Thursday, Mr Justice Alexander Owens fixed November 5 for the personal injury case against Mr McGregor, who was once the highest-paid athlete in the world.
