Conor McGregor is owning up to his past mistakes after his civil case … sharing his remorse for cheating on his longtime partner, Dee Devlin — but reaffirming his actions six years ago were entirely consensual.
The UFC superstar released yet another statement on the results of the month-long case … this time, he admitted he’s far from perfect and never should have entertained Nikita Ni Lamhain‘s “outreaches” following a 2018 Christmas party.
“I should have shut the party down,” McGregor said. “I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.”
The 36-year-old also stated once again he will appeal the decision … but will also look to move past the whole situation.
I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side.
McGregor and Devlin got engaged back in 2020 … and started dating long before he became one of the biggest names in combat sports.
Devlin showed support for McGregor throughout the trial … standing by his side through it all.
Ni Lamhain was awarded around $250k in damages after a jury found him liable for assault.
McGregor is now turning his focus back to his day job … saying he will return to training as “the fight game awaits!”
