Conor McGregor found guilty of sexual assault in a civil case brought by Nikita Hand .

She was awarded nearly 250,000 ( 208,000 ) in damages in the civil case.

Hundreds of retailers have pulled products linked to him from shelves and murals of him have been erased.

Some commentators argue that support for McGregor within Ireland has been dwindling for some time.

Conor McGregor was named Sportsperson of the Year at RTÉ Sport Awards in 2016 .

A rematch a few months later , which McGregor won, sold a record-breaking 1.6 million pay-per-view buys.

By then, it was clear his fame - and bank account - was reaching new heights.

Sinéad O’Carroll , an Irish journalist and editor, says this was seen as a “remarkable feat” as it happened in the same year as the Olympics and Ireland ’s Euro 2016 victory over Italy .

McGregor has not fought since 2021 , but indicated on Tuesday that he was preparing his return.

McGregor said he and Ms Hand had athletic but consensual sex.
