One UFC fighter who has no love lost for Conor McGregor has let his voice be known after the result of the Irishman's recent civil trial in Ireland.
UFC Lightweight Champion Islam Makhachev took to social media after McGregor was found liable for assault of a woman that took place in late 2018. Makhachev praised the court case's ruling against the Dubliner and claimed there is more about the former two-division UFC titleholder that has yet to come out.
"It was a matter of time till this filthy b****** be exposed," Makhachev posted on X. "Alcoholic, drug junkie and rapist. Many more facts to come out, trust me!"
Islam Makhachev Praises 'Exposure' Of Conor McGregor After Jury Rules Against Him In Sexual Assault Case
A jury at Dublin's High Court ruled that McGregor must pay €248,000 ($257,000) to Nikita Hand, who accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her in a hotel room.
According to Hand, the Irishman raped her in a penthouse suite at the Beacon Hotel in Sandyford, Dublin on Dec. 9, 2018, following the two meeting at a Christmas party. McGregor is alleged to have restrained Hand on a bed and bruised her.
The UFC fighter and his team have vehemently denied the allegations, claiming that McGregor and Hand's interactions were completely consensual and that Hand is trying to exploit the situation for profit.
Makhachev is the protégé of Khabib Nurmagomedov, the retired undefeated former UFC lightweight champion and longtime rival of McGregor's. "The Eagle" and "The Notorious" are famous for a highly intense rivalry that led up to their infamous bout at UFC 229 — and, more infamously, the bout's aftermath.
