A gang of masked men broke into the home of a woman who took a civil case against mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor accusing him of raping her, it can now be revealed.

The incident was referred to at the start of the court case in Dublin but could not be reported until now as it emerged during legal discussion while the jury were not present.

The court heard that unknown masked men had broken into her home, smashed the windows and stabbed her boyfriend on 14 June.

Hand’s counsel, John Gordon, told Judge Owens that he was not suggesting the fighter was behind the attack but that it went some way to explain her anxiety and why she relocated from her home.

I remember when McGregor was on top and I would tell people to stop cheering this racist, abusive shitbag. And I would get downvoted for it

Never meet your heroes. Please tell me Fury is okay at least.

"On top" is very subjective. Billions of people couldn't give less of a fuck who he was and is, including me. Even ignoring how it was always obvious he's a bad person, couldn't care less.

Look how many people tuned in to watch Tyson and Paul fight, giving more money to those Trump loving douchebags

Im not sure people who get punched and kicked in the face without any protection is where people should be looking for role models.

I'm sure the wannabe crime lord who flies gangs of thugs halfway around the world to attack people had nothing to do with this gang of thugs attacking people.

Is astounding how he manages to reach lower every time he gets into the news.

I'm embarrassed by how much I loved him as the villain in the remake of Roadhouse. I guess I should be embarrassed by how much I loved the remake of Roadhouse but whatever.
