"Shut it r***st" - MMA X reacts to Conor McGregor showing off BKFC’s support amid fallout from Nikita Hand civil case verdict

MMA fans reacted to Conor McGregor receiving support from BKFC founder and president David Feldman amid McGregor's sexual assault controversy.

The first simultaneous two-division UFC champion was found liable by an Irish civil court in November in a sexual assault case involving victim Nikita Hand. The jury ordered McGregor to pay damages to the victim. Following the verdict, McGregor faced backlash from several fighters and business partners, with reports suggesting the situation has significantly impacted his business ventures.

Recently, McGregor, who became a BKFC co-owner in 2024, shared an article on X from the Independent, which included Feldman’s remarks about the situation. Feldman expressed his support for McGregor. McGregor shared the article with a caption aimed at critics, writing:

“Send this to the other little pricks in no man’s land now.”

The post sparked mixed reactions from MMA enthusiasts who rushed to comment their thoughts.

One fan expressed happiness that 'The Notorious' was receiving support, emphasizing that it is a civil case and not a criminal one, writing:

“And so they should stick with him. It's a civil case, not criminal and the outcome of the appeal is unknown at this point.”

Another user commented:

“Shut it r***st.”

One fan described the actions of BKFC's founder as classy, commenting:

“Classy act from the BKFC president.”

Another user added:

“Basically what this man is saying is it doesnt matter if you r*pe someone, if they are ur mate, they smare your mate, regardless of their actions.”

Andrew Tate defends Conor McGregor amid sexual assault case, criticizes court ruling

Conor McGregor has consistently dismissed the r*pe allegations, asserting that the encounter was consensual. Controversial influencer Andrew Tate took to X to support McGregor, implying that women target wealthy men for financial gain. Tate wrote:

“Bullsh*t ruling against Conor Mcgregor. Women sleep with rich men and if that man doesn't fund their life afterwards they lie and sue. Their brutal narcissism can't take the L of being undesired. We've set a dangerous precedent. It's literally impossible to be a man in the western world.⁩”
