Incident revealed after civil court found MMA fighter had assaulted Nikita Hand in December 2018

A gang of masked men broke into the home of a woman who took a civil case against mixed martial arts fighter Conor McGregor accusing him of raping her, it can now be revealed.

The incident was referred to at the start of the court case in Dublin but could not be reported until now as it emerged during legal discussion while the jury were not present.

The court heard that unknown masked men had broken into her home, smashed the windows and stabbed her boyfriend on 14 June.

Hand’s counsel, John Gordon, told Judge Owens that he was not suggesting the fighter was behind the attack but that it went some way to explain her anxiety and why she relocated from her home.

      Tyson has been a meme so long that people forgot he was a convicted rapist. I had people on threads going “he’s a rapist? Source” meanwhile I thought it was common knowledge.

      By the way I wonder if Tyson is remorseful for his crimes. Here he is speaking about his victim years later:

      "I just hate her guts. She put me in that state, where I don’t know,‘’ Tyson said. "I really wish I did now. But now I really do want to rape her.‘’

      Tyson has also been quoted as saying he did “four or five things worse than what I’m accused of”. To eliminate any potential uncertainty – four or five things worse than rape.

      Sounds like a remorseful, lovely person /s
