Conor McGregor’s recent sexual assault allegations have led to a response from the UFC and the Miami Heat basketball team.
According to reports, the UFC star had attended the NBA Finals in Miami as he undertook a skit where he knocked out the team’s mascot.
While that incident raised talking points over whether it was staged, which it turned out to be, the event was clouded by the allegations.
TMZ Sports reported that a women had been sexually assaulted in a ‘violent’ manner inside the men’s bathroom.
It is claimed that security from the NBA and Miami Heat separated the woman from her friend and then put her in the bathroom.
That is when the woman and her friend were allegedly not allowed to leave, as McGregor was claimed to have “shoved his tongue in the victim’s mouth and aggressively kissed her.”
Thereafter, the woman reportedly told the Irishmen she had to urinate in order to get away, as things apparently escalated.
McGregor denied the allegations, as the UFC and the Miami Heat team have now responded.
