Conor McGregor has been ordered to pay the court costs associated with the lawsuit filed against him by a woman who claimed the UFC star sexually assaulted her at a Dublin, Ireland hotel in 2018.
On Thursday, Mr. Justice Alexander Owens issued the order for McGregor to pay costs incurred by Nikita Hand after a jury found him liable in a civil action brought against the veteran fighter. The legal costs could reportedly reach €1 million (approximately $1.05 million in U.S. dollars) according to the Irish Times.
The legal costs come in addition to damages awarded to Hand with McGregor ordered to pay €248,603.60 (approx. $258,440).
The judge did reject an application from Hand’s attorneys requesting costs awarded at the “solicitor and client basis,” which is the highest amount possible.
