A woman claims she was sexually assaulted by Conor McGregor during Game 4 of the NBA Finals in Miami on June 9.
The former featherweight and lightweight UFC champion, 34, has denied the allegations.
According to the woman’s attorney, McGregor is accused of sexual assault and battery after “violently” forcing himself on her inside a VIP men’s bathroom at Kaseya Center where the game was played. The woman said that McGregor “aggressively kissed her” before trying to force her to perform several sexual acts. McGregor is also accused of kidnapping the woman and causing her emotional distress.
The attorney also wrote that the NBA, Miami Heat and Kaseya Center acted as accessories to the sexual assault and battery and aided and abetted the kidnapping by separating her from her friend.
A spokesperson for the Miami Police Department stated that the special victims unit is investigating a report filed on Sunday but could not provide any additional information.
During the same game, McGregor punched the Miami Heat mascot twice during a mock fight promoting his recovery spray. The man was sent to the emergency room and was discharged with pain medication.

McGregor has faced claims of sexual assault four previous times in locations outside the United States. He has not faced any legal punishment, and at least one of the cases was dropped.
McGregor is the biggest-earning fighter in mixed martial arts (MMA) of all time. He has fought in multiple blockbuster pay-per-view events, including a boxing match against Floyd Mayweather in 2017. However, he has not competed in the UFC since breaking his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier in the summer of 2021.
