Ireland: Conor McGregor to appeal civil rape case verdict

The former mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter Conor McGregor is to appeal the finding of a civil rape case.

Last year, a woman who accused him of raping her won her claim against him for damages.

A jury found that McGregor assaulted Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.

He was ordered to pay her more than €248,000 (£206,000) in damages.

The ex-MMA fighter was also ordered to pay the costs of taking the civil action against him.
