UFC star Conor McGregor has been removed from a popular video game series in the wake of an Irish jury’s decision he was liable in a sexual assault lawsuit. McGregor was Friday found civilly liable after a near-two-week long trial in Dublin. The lawsuit was filed by an Irish woman named Nikita Hand, who accused McGregor and his friend James Lawrence of having sex with her against her will in a Dublin hotel in December 2018. The jury deemed McGregor liable and ruled he pay approximately $260,000 to Hand, but said Lawrence was not liable. Monday, the popular video game series “Hitman,” through its parent company IO Interactive, announced McGregor’s character will be scrubbed from the game as a result of the jury’s decision.
