Conor McGregor swiftly deletes Instagram post shortly before fiancee Dee Devlin breaks silence over sexual assault case

Conor McGregor deleted another response to being found liable in a civil assault case just hours before fiancee Dee Devlin commented on the civil court trial.

Last Friday, McGregor was found liable in a civil court for the assault of Dublin woman Nikita Hand in a hotel six years ago.

Days later, his fiancee Devlin released a statement on her Instagram account defending her partner and hitting out at Hand.

But just hours before, McGregor also posted a response to the court case on social media but deleted it shortly after.

In a now-deleted post published on Tuesday afternoon, McGregor shared a gallery of photos showing him arriving at Dublin's High Court for for the trial on his Instagram account.

Th pictures were accompanied by the caption 'Dirty 'Ol Town IE,' with the famous Pogues song playing in the background.

One pictured showed what appeared to be the Irishman's £482,000 Rolls Royce Phantom, while another showed him inside a car alongside Devlin, who released her on statement on Wednesday after being with the UFC fighter for 15 years.

"Imagine a WOMAN, with her own boyfriend and child, texting provocative pictures of herself to another woman's man with a family and child on the way," Devlin wrote on her Instagram story.

"My sons will be warned women like you exist in the world."

In his official response to the result of the trial, the Irishman admitted to cheating on his partner and announced that he would be appealing the decision.

"People want to hear from me, I needed time," McGregor said on X. "I know I made mistakes. Six years ago, I should have never responded to her outreaches.

"I should have shut the party down. I should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world. That’s all on me.

"As much as I regret it, everything that happened that night was consensual and all the witnesses present swore to that under oath. I have instructed my legal team to appeal the decision."

McGregor added: "I can’t go back and I will move forward. I am beyond grateful to my family, friends and supporters all over the world who have stayed by my side. That’s it. No more. Getting back to the gym- the fight game awaits!"

Speaking outside of the High Court in Dublin following the verdict, Hand thanked her supporters as she sent a message to victims of sexual assault.

"I am overwhelmed by the support I have received from everybody," she said.

"I want to thank my legal team and my three barristers, they have been amazing from start to finish. I want to thank the justice, the jury and all the witnesses.

"To all the victims of sexual assault, I hope my story is a reminder you have a voice and to keep on fighting for justice."
