Daniel Cormier believes Conor McGregor will deal with the lasting effects of the sexual assault

Daniel Cormier isn’t sure if Conor McGregor can ever bounce back from the tough situations he’s facing.

Conor McGregor’s sexual assault conviction has had a significant impact on his life, both professionally and personally. A Dublin court has found him guilty in a case involving Nikita Hand, and the consequences are palpable in his business and public persona. His reputation takes a hit, with criticism from both the fighting world and the general public. The fallout from this case will have a long-lasting impact on McGregor’s career and future endeavors.

Last Friday a The court found McGregor was responsible for an attack on a woman in a Dublin hotel in 2018. The court ordered him to pay the victim $260,000 in damages.

As a result, McGregor has lost several major partnerships. Proper No. Twelve, the company behind his whisky, has announced that it will no longer work with him. Additionally, the makers of the video game ‘Hitman’ have said that they will be removing McGregor’s character from the game. Cormier believes McGregor will continue to face serious consequences in the future.

McGregor’s career could suffer ‘long-term effects’ from his ongoing sexual assault case

Now Cormier thinks the bad things McGregor did outside the ring may be remembered more than all the great things McGregor did during fights.

“It’s a shame because this is one of the biggest stars this sport has ever seen. We have never seen anything like a Conor McGregor in mixed martial arts,” Cormier said on his YouTube channel. “For a man of that stature to come from our sport and be tied to something as bad as this really sucks. This will have longer-term consequences.”

Daniel Cormier shares that he doesn’t judge McGregor

The UFC commentator said he doesn’t judge Conor McGregor because he doesn’t know exactly what happened between McGregor and Nikita Hand that night. But since other allegations have been made about McGregor, things don’t seem to be going well for him.

“When I hear things like this, sometimes celebrities are targeted — especially guys who carry that kind of cache, that kind of name recognition,” Cormier said. “But with Conor it seems there has been more than one instance where this sort of thing has come up. Like I said, I’m not judging this man. Don’t know.

‘I wasn’t there. Do you know who knows? Conor and that girl. But this isn’t the first time we’ve seen something like this, so you’re a little less likely to say, “Oh, this is a gold digger trying to do this.” But do know: as long as there has been sports, there have also been cases like this.”

Brands have cut ties with the MMA Fighter

Several of his colleagues, including former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov and current champion Islam Makhachev, have already taken shots at him, slamming him for being an “alcoholic,” “drug junkie” and “rapist.”

“Honestly, it seems a little strange for Islam,” Cormier said. ‘I know the boys. The boys like to talk nonsense. The boys love to mess around. The boys will tell you what they feel. It feels off-brand, but in this case I feel like it could be because this rivalry between these guys from Dagestan and Conor McGregor has been as nasty as any rivalry we’ve seen in mixed martial arts.
