Judge Alexander Owens has confirmed that a hearing for MMA star Conor McGregor will take place on November 5 regarding a lawsuit involving allegations of assault against a woman.
Details: The UFC star faces accusations of physical harm. The lawsuit claims that in 2018, McGregor struck a woman and her daughter in Dublin, Ireland. The hearing has been postponed multiple times due to the athlete's injuries and his MMA fights. The lawsuit was filed in 2021.
The case, which will be examined by a judge and jury, was initially set to be heard in late June or early July but was delayed after McGregor successfully filed for a postponement to allow him to participate in a UFC bout against Michael Chandler in Las Vegas.
However, that fight was canceled after McGregor sustained a broken toe during training.
It is worth noting that the fighter's attorneys have dismissed all accusations.
Reminder: McGregor last stepped into the octagon in the summer of 2021 when he broke his leg in a fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264.
Earlier, UFC president Dana White discussed when the former champion is expected to return to the octagon.
