UFC rival speaks out on Conor McGregor’s sexual assault accusations, questions validity of claims

Conor McGregor has recently become entangled in a major scandal following allegations of sexual assault made by a woman during Game 4 of the NBA Finals on June 9, 2023, held at the Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.

According to the accuser's attorney Ariel Mitchell, the claimed event occurred after the game had ended. The alleged victim was escorted from her friend by NBA and Miami Heat security employees, who then directed her into a men's restroom where Conor McGregor and his security personnel were already present. The attorney's claims go on to state that 'The Notorious' then coerced the victim into engaging in non-consensual oral sexual activity.

His rival coach on the reality show The Ultimate Fighter, Michael Chandler, has come forward to express his thoughts on the matter. 'Iron' openly raised doubts about the validity of the claims, thereby questioning the credibility of the accusations.

During a recent Q&A session, the former lightweight title challenger stated:

"Very fishy details."

@lucentphoenix remarked:

"It's the easiest lie for a woman to get somebody instantly in trouble for. The words 'he raped me' are the fastest way a man can get thrown in jail. But if a man says a woman hit him or beat him up or raped HIM, he will ALSO be the first one in handcuffs."
