A woman who won a civil case against Conor McGregor is now suing him and two other people for damages, claiming they were involved in malicious abuse of court processes.
McGregor was ordered to pay £206,000 in damages in November, plus legal costs, to Nikita Hand, who claimed that he raped her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018.
Hand has now launched proceedings against McGregor, Samantha O'Reilly and Steven Cummins, former neighbours of hers, alleging the three were involved in a misuse of the legal system.
The MMA fighter, 37, had intended to call O'Reilly and Cummins to give evidence in support of his appeal.
The couple had previously claimed to have witnessed a row between Hand and her former partner, Stephen Redmond, in December 2018.
