Conor McGregor and Miami Heat sued over claims he tried to rape woman in VIP bathroom as security stood watch
Conor McGregor and the Miami Heat are facing a federal lawsuit over claims the UFC legend sexually assaulted a woman in a bathroom at the Kaseya Center while security stood guard outside the stall.
The alleged incident allegedly occurred immediately after Game 4 of the NBA Finals in June 2023. According to the accuser, identified as “Jane Doe,” McGregor led the woman to a VIP men’s bathroom, but arena security prevented her boyfriend from entering entering the stable.
After Jane Doe used the bathroom, an allegedly intoxicated McGregor attempted to “forcibly place his unprotected penis in the woman’s mouth” without her consent. She tried to leave the stall but was “slammed face first into the wall,” according to the complaint.
McGregor is also accused of putting her ‘in an arm lock’, attempting to anally rape the woman and spitting on her.
The allegations, which had previously been made public, did not result in another arrest for the troubled 36-year-old McGregor, as Miami police decided not to file charges.
McGregor was recently ordered by an Irish court to pay $257,000 to another woman who sued him over claims he “brutally raped and assaulted” her in a Dublin hotel penthouse in 2018.

In a highly publicized incident, McGregor punched the team mascot, Burnie, causing the costumed performer to fall to the hardwood. Ultimately, Burnie was hospitalized
In both cases he has maintained his innocence.
‘After thorough investigation, the public prosecutor came to the conclusion that there was no further case. Nearly two years and at least three lawyers later, the plaintiff has a new false story. We are confident that this case will also be dismissed,” McGregor’s attorney, Barbara Llanes of Gelber, Schachter & Greenberg, said in a statement to DailyMail.com.
Heat spokespeople did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com’s request for a statement.
The Kesaya Center staff and security are also named in the lawsuit for “gross negligence,” in part because the allegedly drunk McGregor was already acting belligerent that evening.
In a highly publicized incident, McGregor punched the team mascot, Burnie, causing the costumed performer to fall to the hardwood. A second blow caused the mascot to kick his feet and roll in obvious pain.
Heat coach Erik Spoelstra later confirmed that the person portraying the mascot had been taken to the hospital, but assured reporters Burnie suffered no permanent injuries.
“We won’t reveal who that is, but yes, he can take a knock and get back up,” Spoelstra said at the time. “He won’t miss a moment.”
McGregor has since portrayed the incident as a ‘skit’ gone wrong.
“The mascot is good, my man,” he told Adam Glyn in June 2023. ‘The mascot is good. It was a skit and it went the way it went, but all is well.”
