Conor McGregor succeeds in bid to adjourn woman's damages claim
Summary
Conor McGregor has secured a six‑month adjournment of a woman's damages claim for alleged assault that was filed in 2021. The claim, which will be heard by a jury in the High Court, was originally scheduled for late June or early July. McGregor, who denies all wrongdoing, requested the case be postponed to November to avoid conflict with his UFC fight against Michael Chandler on 29 June in Las Vegas. The plaintiff's counsel opposed the adjournment, citing the plaintiff's long wait for a hearing and the media attention the case has attracted. Judge Alexander Owens granted the adjournment to November, noting that the case would likely proceed then and that the hearing would last about two weeks. McGregor's legal team also reached an agreement with the plaintiff regarding pre‑trial discovery matters. The claim is one of two filed against McGregor over alleged 2018 incidents, and all allegations remain denied.
