For the unversed, ‘Mystic Mac’ took to his X handle to accuse the courts in his country were being run by biased people. He wrote, “This is not a court of hard evidence and truth. It is a kangaroo court of opinions and feelings.” That’s not all, McGregor even called out the mainstream media for their alleged biased reporting on the matter. The Irishman later deleted these posts but it seems that he won’t have an easy way out after this online tirade.

Adding to his financial woes, it appears that McGregor, now on the losing end of the case, will also be responsible for covering the victim, Nikita Hand’s legal expenses. Why? In many legal disputes, the losing party is often required to bear the legal costs incurred by the winning side. In this case, the former double champion is reportedly on the hook for over a million dollars in legal fees for Hand. This substantial sum comes on top of the $263,000 in damages he is already ordered to pay.
Amidst the surmounting issues, former UFC fighter Daniel Corm͏ier has come for͏w͏a͏rd͏ with his ͏own͏ verdict͏ on the situation. Let’s take a look at what DC had to say on the matter.

Daniel Cormier gives his final verdict on Conor McGregor’s case
The civil lawsuit has turned out to be a reason for the Irishman’s fallout, including several companies distancing themselves from him in addition to global criticism. These setbacks have only added to the turbulence surrounding the former dual-weight champion’s already chaotic lifestyle. Amidst the ongoing drama, UFC legend Daniel Cormier has weighed in, offering his perspective on McGregor’s situation.
Speaking candidly on his YouTube channel, Cormier expressed skepticism about McGregor’s ability to regain his former standing in the MMA world. “I’m not going to say much more about it, but I do know that Conor is going to face some drastic terms,” Cormier said. “He’s already been removed from Proper 12—a whiskey brand that he founded. I don’t quite understand that. How do you kick a man out of a business he started? Maybe he sold it, I just don’t know.”

Cormier also pointed out other repercussions McGregor is facing, including his removal from promotions like the Hitman video game series. “Conor McGregor is going to face some real-life consequences, but my question to you guys is this: Does he need a fight to make people forgive him? Or will the fighting world even accept this man as they used to, now that all of this is public knowledge? He’s in the s—t, guys. He’s overcome many things inside the octagon and in life, but for once, I feel like this… I don’t know if there’s going to be any getting around it.”
With his reputation on shaky ground, many are left wondering if McGregor can rebound from these setbacks or if this marks the end of the glitzy, high-profile career. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
