Conor McGregor: What Happened When He Faced a Civil Jury- Part 2

After nearly six years, Nikita Hand finally walked into a Dublin courtroom and faced Conor McGregor.

In Part 2, we break down the 12-day civil trial: Hand's testimony, McGregor's claim that their encounter was consensual, the CCTV footage the defense said undermined her story, the medical and physical evidence presented to the jury, and the strategies used to challenge Hand's credibility.

Then, after six hours and ten minutes of deliberation, the jury returned its verdict.

We follow what happened next—including the damages awarded, McGregor's appeals, and what the case says about the way sexual assault allegations are investigated, prosecuted, defended, and discussed.

And as McGregor attempted to stage a public comeback, we return to the part of his story that shouldn't be erased: the civil jury verdict Nikita Hand fought nearly seven years to obtain.

To be clear: This episode is based on the evidence presented in court and the public record. If you're looking for a defense of Conor McGregor, this probably isn't the episode for you.

Content warning: This episode contains detailed discussion of sexual assault, physical injuries, and trauma.
