One of Conor McGregor’s biggest sponsors, a US firm that makes pain relief sprays, has said it will continue its deal with the MMA fighter after reviewing “the evidence” from his recent civil case.

In November, a High Court jury in Dublin found against McGregor in a civil case taken by Nikita Hand, who alleged he raped and assaulted her in a hotel penthouse in December 2018. Ms Hand was awarded just under €250,000 in damages and loss of income awards by the jury after it ruled in her favour following a three-week trial.
