Nikita Hand, who alleges she was raped by the mixed martial arts fighter, lives in fear, jury told

A woman who alleges the Irish mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor brutally raped her after a Christmas party six years ago in Dublin will “always be a marked woman” simply because she had the courage to stand up to the fighter, a jury has been told.

John Gordon, senior counsel for Nikita Hand, also known as Nikita Ní Laimhín, told the eight women and four men in Dublin’s high court they had been “subjected to arrogant, distasteful, dishonest testimony” by the fighter.
