A series of demand letters were issued this week, crafted by the lawyer Ariel Mitchell, targeting McGregor, the NBA, and Miami Heat. These letters state that the unfortunate incident occurred shortly after the Nuggets secured a win, scoring 108-95, on June 9 at Florida’s Kaseya Center.
McGregor, a significant part of the game’s entertainment, occupied courtside seats and took an active part in a halftime act where he humorously attacked a Heat mascot while advertising his Tidl Sport recovery spray.
The letters, sourced by TMZ Sports, indicate that during the later part of the evening, McGregor allegedly sexually assaulted a woman in a men’s restroom in a violent manner.
Mitchell’s letters suggest that the security teams of the NBA and the Heat facilitated the separation of the woman from her friend and subsequently forced her into a restroom where McGregor and his bodyguard were present.
According to the letters, Mitchell states that security denied the woman exit, also preventing anyone else, including her friend, from entering the bathroom. The attorney then suggests that McGregor left a handicap stall and forced himself on the woman.
The letters suggest that the woman was able to fend off McGregor by pretending she needed to urinate, but McGregor then allegedly compelled her to perform oral sex.
The letters further claim that 34-year-old McGregor seized the woman and pinned her against the wall, attempting to sodomize her.
Mitchell indicates in the letters that the woman managed to hit McGregor repeatedly with her elbow, creating an opportunity for her escape. However, in her haste to leave, she left her purse behind, which according to Mitchell, was retained by McGregor’s security team until she pleaded for its return.
As per the letters, the woman managed to break free from the disturbing situation and reported the assault to local law enforcement on Sunday morning. Mitchell tells us that an officer advised the woman to seek legal counsel.
Following the woman’s interaction with the police, the letters written by Mitchell reveal that she is pursuing settlements from the NBA, Miami Heat, and McGregor instead of proceeding with a lawsuit.
McGregor’s representatives, however, categorically dismissed the allegations in a statement on Thursday morning. They added, “Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated.”
Miami Heat issued a statement on Thursday afternoon acknowledging awareness of the allegations and confirming a thorough investigation into the matter. The NBA released its own statement stating its awareness and active efforts to gather more information in coordination with the team.
The UFC also addressed the incident, expressing awareness of the accusations and actively working to gather more information. The UFC affirmed it would wait for the legal proceedings to conclude before issuing any further statements.
