McGregor Escapes Legal Snare In Sexual Harassment Case

Conor McGregor escaped from the legal snares of sexual harassment cases in the United States (Instagram/@thenotoriousmma).

JAKARTA UFC fighting star Conor McGregor is now breathing a sigh of relief after a United States (US) woman voluntarily decided to withdraw a lawsuit over a case of alleged sexual harassment.

The Irish fighter was accused of sexual harassment in the NBA's fourth game of the NBA final between Miami Heat and Denver Nuggets in June 2023.

McGregor, 37, who is one of UFC's most commercially promising stars, later denied the allegations.

The woman's lawyer, who in the initial lawsuit was identified as a 49-year-old Wall Street executive, filed a notification for the voluntary revocation of the lawsuit at a Florida court on Tuesday, December 2, 2025, local time.

Prosecutors have previously refused to file a criminal charge for the alleged incident. According to the initial lawsuit, McGregor met the anonymous woman at the end of the match in the VIP arena area.

The lawsuit alleges that an acquaintance of McGregor then took the woman to the men's toilet, where McGregor was accused of attacking her in a booth.

In a separate sexual harassment case in Ireland last year, McGregor was held responsible and ordered to pay about 250 thousand US dollars in compensation to a woman who accused her of rape.

Earlier, last month, the former featherweight and lightweight UFC champion was suspended 18 months after failing to undergo three doping tests within 12 months.

However, McGregor can fight again in March next year because the suspension will only take effect from September 2024.

This makes McGregor potentially appearing at the UFC event scheduled to take place on June 14, 2026 at the White House, to coincide with the anniversary of United States President Donald Trump.
