The court, after six hours and 10 minutes of deliberation among the jury, announced that McGregor will pay damages of $248,000.
The athlete has testified in court that he did not rape Hunts, claiming they had consensual sexual intercourse at the Beacon Hotel. He also denied that he hit the plaintiff.
Hearing the court’s verdict, Connor McGregor shook his head affirmatively and Nikita Hants cried, according to the Daily Mail.
