UFC fighter Conor McGregor and the Miami Heat are facing a federal lawsuit alleging sexual assault. The plaintiff, identified as 'Jane Doe,' claims McGregor assaulted her in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center after Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals. McGregor's attorney denies the allegations, stating the case will be dismissed.
Conor McGregor and the Miami Heat are facing a federal lawsuit over allegations that the UFC legend sexually assaulted a woman in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center while security personnel stood guard outside the stall. The alleged incident occurred immediately after Game 4 of the NBA Finals in June 2023. According to the plaintiff, identified as 'Jane Doe,' McGregor's security separated her from her friend before the Dublin native led her into a VIP men's bathroom.
Arena security reportedly prevented the plaintiff's friend from entering the stall. After Jane Doe used the bathroom, an allegedly intoxicated McGregor 'attempted to forcefully place his unprotected penis' into the woman's mouth 'without her consent.' She attempted to leave the stall but was slammed 'against the wall face first,' according to the filing. McGregor is also accused of putting her 'in an arm lock,' attempting to anally rape the woman, and spitting on her.The allegations, which were previously made public, did not result in another arrest for the troubled 36-year-old McGregor as Miami police decided against pursuing charges. McGregor was recently ordered by an Irish court to pay $257,000 to another woman who sued him over claims he 'brutally raped and battered' her in a Dublin hotel penthouse in 2018. He has maintained his innocence in both cases. McGregor (right) is seen on the night in question during Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals. In a highly publicized incident, McGregor struck the team mascot, Burnie, sending the costumed performer tumbling down to the hardwood. Ultimately Burnie was hospitalized.

Almost two years and at least three lawyers later the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case too will be dismissed,' McGregor's attorney, Barbara Llanes of Gelber, Schachter & Greenberg, said in a statement provided to DailyMail.com. Heat spokespeople declined to comment when contacted by DailyMail.com. Kaseya Center staff and security are also named in the lawsuit over 'gross negligence,' in part, because the allegedly intoxicated McGregor was already behaving belligerently that night. In a highly publicized incident, McGregor struck the team mascot, Burnie, sending the costumed performer tumbling down to the hardwood. A second punch sent the mascot kicking his feet and rolling in apparent agony. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra later confirmed that the person portraying the mascot was taken to the hospital, but assured reporters Burnie didn't suffer any permanent injuries. 'We won't reveal who that is, but yeah, he can take a punch and get back up,' Spoelstra said at the time. 'He's not going to miss any time.' McGregor has since portrayed the incident as a 'skit' gone awry. 'The mascot's good, my man,' he told Adam Glyn in June of 2023. 'The Mascot is good. It was a skit, and it went the way it went, but all is well.
