Conor McGregor flees Ireland for Dubai after losing sexual assault civil case amid backlash

Disgraced Conor McGregor has reportedly fled Ireland for Dubai following the loss of a civil case related to sexual assault allegations.

Sources indicate that McGregor, along with his partner Dee Devlin and their children, left their luxurious K Club residence for an extended stay in the Gulf region as reported by the Irish Sun.

Legal insiders suggest that the controversial fighter plans to remain abroad for some time until the fallout from the civil case, which found he had brutally raped a hair colorist in a Dublin hotel, subsides.

McGregor, 36, has announced plans to appeal the High Court jury’s decision in an attempt to clear his name.

Since the November verdict, the Dublin-born fighter has faced significant backlash in Ireland, where his reputation has been severely damaged.

Retailers in both Ireland and the UK have stopped stocking his stout and whiskey brands, and gyms that once celebrated him as an icon have removed his image.

The former UFC champion is reportedly considering leaving Ireland permanently.

It is understood that McGregor has told friends he is contemplating a return to the United States, where he still enjoys a large fan base.

Unlike in Ireland, the U.S. has seen little reaction to the Irish court's decision against McGregor.
