Conor McGregor: Woman claims MMA fighter choked her before rape

Ms Hand said she could not breathe and was struggling to free herself from his grip.

“The only thing I could move was my head, so the only defence was to bite him,” she said.

“I bit him, I know I bit him. He didn’t like it. So he flipped around and had me by the neck and shoulders.”

Ms Hand alleged that at this stage she froze.

“I couldn’t move, I was staring at the bed post thinking about my daughter, thinking I was gonna die,” she said.

“I thought I’d never see my daughter again.”

After this, she alleged that Mr McGregor let her go and she apologised to him to “reassure” him so that “he wouldn’t hurt me again”.

Ms Hand said that McGregor said: “‘That’s how I felt in the octagon and I had to tap myself out three times’.

She added: “I thought it was such a weird thing to say. I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone anything.

“I just let him do whatever he need to do, so I could survive, I wasn’t myself anymore.”

After this, Ms Hand alleges the MMA fighter pulled off her clothes and raped her.
