The civil trial of Conor McGregor has heard mother of one Nikita Ní Laimhín giving evidence in the High Court that alleges that the Mixed Martial arts star — once the highest-earning sportsperson in the world — "brutally raped and battered" her in a Dublin hotel.

Ms Ní Laimhín is seeking damages from Mr McGregor and James Lawrence, of Rafter's Road, Drimnagh, Dublin 12, arising from the events of December 9, 2018, at the penthouse suite of the Beacon hotel in Dublin where she alleges she was raped. Both Mr McGregor and Mr Lawrence deny the allegations.
