Charges Against UFC’s McGregor for 2023 Sexual Assault Dropped
A civil lawsuit alleging sexual assault against UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been dismissed. The case was connected to an incident during an NBA Finals game in June 2023.
Details of the Lawsuit Dismissal
The lawsuit was dropped on Wednesday in a U.S. District Court. The plaintiff, a 49-year-old business executive, filed for voluntary dismissal, preventing any further litigation.
Incident at Kaseya Center
The alleged assault occurred at the Kaseya Center in Miami during a Miami Heat game. McGregor reportedly interacted with the woman in the Courtside Club, leading to the allegation of escorting her to a men’s restroom.

Previous Allegations and Legal Matters
In 2018, McGregor faced a separate sexual assault case in Ireland. He was found liable and ordered to pay approximately €248,000, equivalent to $257,000. An appeal against this ruling was denied.
McGregor’s Career Status
Currently, McGregor’s fighting career remains on hold. He has not competed since suffering a broken leg in a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. However, he has expressed interest in returning to the octagon at the UFC’s White House card in June.
With the dismissal of the charges and ongoing interest in his fighting career, the coming months will be pivotal for McGregor.
