Conor McGregor recently put Ireland's Minister of Justice on blast after she commended Nikita Hand following the verdict on her civil case against the UFC star. The court case had brought forth many revelations and had both recounting a different series of events as 'The Notorious' claimed it was a consensual encounter, while Hand claimed he forced his way on to her.

The jury found the former two-division champion guilty of assaulting Hand and awarded her over $250,000 in damages that the Irishman will have to pay. According to RTE News, Ireland's Minister of Justice, Helen McEntee, commended her following the verdict, especially considering the circumstances of taking a well-known public figure like McGregor to civil court:

"I just want to commend Nikita [Hand] for her bravery, for her determination and the leadership that she has shown in what has been - I've no doubt - a very, very difficult time for her and indeed, for her family."

RTE News' X post featuring a headline about McEntee's praise caught the attention of 'The Notorious', who clearly wasn't too pleased. McGregor reposted it to his X account and blasted the Minister of Justice for celebrating Hand and mentioned that none of the accusations were true:
