The neighbour, named as Ms O’Reilly, and her partner have provided sworn affidavits that McGregor now hopes to submit as new evidence.

A neighbour of Nikita Hand has alleged witnessing the mother-of-one being punched and kicked by her ex partner just hours after she said she was violently raped by MMA fighter and Straffan resident Conor McGregor in a Dublin hotel.

Mr Justice Seamus Noonan outlined the allegations in the Court of Appeal today.

The neighbour, named as Ms O’Reilly, and her partner have sworn affidavits that McGregor now hopes to submit as new evidence.

The former UFC champion, worth millions, is seeking a retrial of the civil case that Ms Hand won against him last year, according to the Irish Independent.
