Conor McGregor has been dropped by the producers of a video game following last week’s verdict that he assaulted a woman.
Last Friday, a jury found McGregor, 36, had assaulted Nikita Hand in a hotel in Dublin in December 2018.
The UFC fighter was ordered to pay Ms Hand more than €248,000 (£206,000) in damages as per BBC.
The jury in a civil court case at The High Court in Dublin, Ireland, had deliberated for a day before returning their verdict following eight days of evidence and three days listening to closing speeches and the judge's comments.

Now, it has emerged that IO Interactive has decided to drop McGregor from a video game.
A mission, involving McGregor's character, returned to the game earlier in November.
The Irishman’s voice was used for The Disruptor character in the Hitman game.
While a Disruptor pack allowed permanent access to character.

"In light of the recent court ruling regarding Conor McGregor, IO Interactive has made the decision to cease its collaboration with the athlete, effective immediately,” a statement read.
"We take this matter very seriously and cannot ignore its implications.
"Consequently, we will begin removing all content featuring Mr. McGregor from our storefronts starting today."

After hearing the verdict, McGregor made no comment and shook his head before he left the court but did release a statement on social media.
“I will be appealing today’s decision,” he wrote.
"I am with my family now, focused on my future.
"Thank you to all my support worldwide.”

Ms Hand spoke outside the court on Friday and explained how she hoped that the case would allow victims of assault to keep "pushing forward for justice".
“I hope my story is a reminder that no matter how afraid you might be, speak up, you have a voice and keep on fighting for justice,” she said.
“I know this has impacted not only my life, my daughter’s, my family and friends tremendously.
“It’s something that I’ll never forget for the rest of my life."

“Now that justice has been served, I can now try and move on and look forward to the future with my family and friends and daughter," she added.
