UFC superstar Conor McGregor has been accused of “violently” sexually assaulting a woman in the bathroom at Kaseya Center, the home of the Miami Heat, TMZ Sports reported on Friday.

The incident allegedly took place at Game 4 of the 2023 NBA Finals between the Heat and Denver Nuggets – where McGregor was a part of the in-arena entertainment and also made headlines for punching the Heat’s mascot.

McGregor’s representatives denied the allegations to TMZ.

The Miami Heat is investigating the allegations.

“We are aware of the allegations and are conducting a full investigation,” the team said in a statement.

“Pending the outcome of the investigation, we will withhold further comment.”

According to demand letters from lawyer Ariel Mitchell, obtained by TMZ, the victim was separated from her friend by Heat and NBA security, where she was forced into a bathroom inside the arena.

McGregor then emerged from a stall and forcibly kissed the woman, who was kept inside the bathroom by security guards that also wouldn’t allow anyone else inside.

After the woman was able to initially get away from McGregor by saying she had to urinate, the 34-year-old fighter then forced her to perform oral sex on him, the letters allege.

McGregor is then accused of grabbing the woman, pinning her against the wall and attempting to rape her.

The victim was able to escape by elbowing him multiple times, but left her purse behind, which the letters claim McGregor’s security guards “held hostage.”

The woman then allegedly got her purse back and reported the incident to authorities.

The NBA has also made a public comment about the allegations.

According to The Athletic, NBA spokesperson Mike Bass said: “We are aware of the allegations and are working with the team to gather more information.”

The UFC has also released a statement.

“The organisation is aware of the recent allegations regarding Conor McGregor and will continue to gather additional details regarding the incident, the MMA promotion said.

“UFC will allow the legal process to play out before making any additional statements.”

It’s not the first time the former UFC champion has been accused of sexual assault; he was also accused in Ireland of assaulting a woman in an Ireland hotel room in 2019.
