Former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) two-division champion, Conor McGregor, is no longer facing a 2023 sexual assault lawsuit after the case was officially dismissed this week in U.S. District Court.
According to court documents obtained by The Athletic, Senior Judge Joan A. Lenard of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida dismissed the civil lawsuit “with prejudice” on Dec. 3, 2025. The ruling permanently prevents the plaintiff — identified only as “Jane Doe” — from refiling the case.
The lawsuit stemmed from an alleged incident at the 2023 NBA Finals in Miami. The woman, described in filings as a 49-year-old business executive, accused McGregor of sexually assaulting her inside a men’s restroom at Kaseya Center following Game 4 on June 9, 2023.
She filed the civil suit on Jan. 14, 2025, naming both McGregor and the Miami Heat organization as defendants. Prosecutors in Florida did not pursue criminal charges.
According to the complaint, the woman and McGregor initially spoke inside the arena’s Courtside Club before the fighter allegedly took her by the hand and escorted her into the men’s restroom, where the assault was alleged to have occurred. The Miami Heat and Kaseya Center were included as co-defendants because of their oversight of the venue.
McGregor consistently denied all allegations.
For now, at least, one of McGregor’s major legal battles has come to a definitive end.
