The former UFC champion denies raping Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, but she won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court in the Irish capital on Friday. The jury delivered its verdict and awarded Ms Hand just over £200k in damages.

Unsurprisingly, that saw a host of the Irishman’s MMA and boxing rivals lined up to take pops at McGregor accompanying the news, with Paul - fresh from his combat against Mike Tyson last weekend - taking aim on Twitter.

Engineering himself into it, and showcasing that he doesn’t know the difference between a civil case and a criminal one, Paul wrote: “Dana hits his wife Conor’s con
