Conor McGregor maintains innocence as civil rape liability judgment is discussed ahead of UFC 329
The UFC star reiterated his claim of innocence regarding a civil rape liability finding while preparing for his July 11 return at UFC 329.
Conor McGregor addressed the civil court decision that found him liable for rape two years ago as he gears up for his UFC 329 comeback in Las Vegas. While the case was settled in a civil proceeding, McGregor said he remains an "innocent man" and denied any wrongdoing. The fighter’s comments came during media activities preceding the July 11 event, where he is slated to fight after a lengthy hiatus. No further details about the case were provided, and McGregor’s legal team has not commented on potential appeals.
"I am an innocent man," McGregor said in a statement released ahead of the fight.
The civil judgment, which does not carry criminal penalties, has been a point of public scrutiny, but McGregor indicated his focus remains on his upcoming bout and future plans in the sport.
