Conor McGregor, an American woman who claimed she was sexually assaulted at an NBA basketball game, has dropped her lawsuit against the Irish mixed martial arts fighter.
Following a 2023 Miami Heat game, McGregor, one of the most well-known and financially successful fighters in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, had refuted the allegations of sexual battery.
A Florida court on Tuesday issued a notice of voluntary dismissal for the woman, who was first identified as a 49-year-old Wall Street executive.
The alleged incident had already sparked a criminal controversy for the prosecution.
In June 2023, McGregor was present for the Miami Heat’s NBA Finals Game 4 encounter with the Denver Nuggets as part of a sponsorship deal to promote a pain-relief brand.

At the conclusion of the game, McGregor apparently met the mysterious woman in the VIP area of the venue.
It is claimed that McGregor later allegedly assaulted the woman in a restroom while leading her to a men’s restroom.
In a separate sexual assault case in Ireland last year, McGregor was found guilty and ordered to pay a woman who had accused him of rape about $250, 000 in damages.
After missing three drug tests in a year, the former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion was given an 18-month suspension last month.
McGregor will be able to fight again by March of next year because the suspension was postponed until September 2024, which could allow him to compete at a UFC event that is scheduled to take place on June 14 at the White House in honor of US President Donald Trump’s birthday.
