Conor McGregor had a grand old time at the Donald Trump inauguration party. Together with fellow MMA fighters, boxing legends, Hollywood celebrities, and well-known political figures, 'The Notorious' celebrated the inauguration of the 47th US President.

One of the more interesting interactions McGregor had during the party was when he rubbed elbows with the only four-time heavyweight boxing champion, Evander 'The Real Deal' Holyfield. The Irish MMA star posted about the meeting on his Instagram stories:

After civil case loss, Conor McGregor faces another s*xual assault lawsuit

While he's looking like he's having a ball at the inauguration party in the capital, Conor McGregor isn't having a great time back home in Ireland. In November 2024, 'The Notorious' lost a civil case in which he was found liable by an Irish High Court jury for assaulting Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel back in 2018.

The verdict ordered McGregor to pay Hand 250,000 Euros in damages. He was also ordered to pay the plaintiff 1.3 million Euros in legal fees.

The Irish MMA star's financial woes didn't end there, as his major business ventures started falling apart - starting with his massively popular Proper No.12 Whiskey.

With millions already down the drain, the McGregor empire might be facing another storm as another lawsuit rears its head:

"🚨 Conor McGregor is now being sued AGAIN for s*xual assault at a Miami Heat game in 2023. The anonymous woman filed the case in Florida and is also suing the Miami Heat. She is seeking compensatory damages" - ACD MMA

No further development has been made public yet on the new lawsuit, filed by an anonymous woman in Florida. If ever this case goes into court, McGregor will be tried under Florida laws, which could vary greatly from the Irish High Court that initially tried him in the Nikita Hand case.
