CCTV (closed-circuit television) of Conor McGregor and Nikita Hand would be used selectively and disseminated in the "dark hole of the internet," if released, a judge has told the High Court in Dublin.

Judge Owens said the MMA star had engaged online in 'irresponsible comment' in which he 'attacked' the jury and called Ms Hand a liar

The Irishman has responded to claims after Nikita Hand is reportedly wanting the High Court to restrain publication of CCTV footage used in the trial

Lawyers acting for Nikita Hand have applied for an injunction to prevent distribution of CCTV footage shown during trail.

On Thursday Judge Owens said there was a “real danger” based off material disclosed to him by Ms Hand’s solicitor that McGregor was going to disseminate the footage - which shows Ms Hand before and after the alleged rape in the Beacon Hotel - to his Italian business associate Gabriel Ernesto Rapisarda.

Conor McGregor has reacted to the news that the woman who won her civil damages claim against him wants the High Court to restrain publication of CCTV footage used in the trial. Mr McGregor reshared a number of posts on his Instagram story and X accounts on Monday, although didn't write anything in his own words.

Nikita Hand’s lawyers are looking to prevent security camera footage from the Beacon hotel from being leaked to the public, one month after a jury found McGregor liable for assaulting her in 2018.

Nikita Hand was awarded almost €250,000 damages after a High Court jury upheld her civil claim that she was raped by the Mixed Martial Arts fighter
