Former UFC champion Conor McGregor has been cleared of sexual assault charges following a thorough investigation. The allegations surfaced during the NBA Finals last June in Miami, but after reviewing videos and conducting interviews with eyewitnesses, the authorities have concluded that there is no case to pursue against McGregor. His lawyer, Barbara Llanes, confirmed the decision and expressed relief on behalf of her client, his family, and his fans. McGregor was accused of assaulting a woman in an arena bathroom after Game 4 of the NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets. The woman claimed that McGregor forced her into the bathroom and that security did nothing to help. However, the investigation found no evidence to support these allegations. The incident occurred while McGregor was at the Heat game as a promotional gimmick for a pain-relief spray. During an in-game skit with the Heat mascot, Burnie, McGregor accidentally hit the mascot with a left hook, causing him to fall. McGregor then attempted to spray the mascot with the pain-relief product, resulting in the mascot needing medical attention and pain medication. McGregor has not fought in the UFC since suffering a broken leg in a July 2021 fight. However, he is expected to make a return in 2024. This development brings an end to the case and allows McGregor to focus on his future in the UFC.
