McGregor denied all of the allegations

A judge has ruled that MMA star Conor McGregor must pay the legal costs of a woman who accused him of raping her.

A jury found McGregor liable in a civil case taken by Nikita Hand and ordered him to pay Ms Hand almost €250,000 (£207,000) in damages.

He has now been told to pay her legal costs in a further hearing on Thursday.

James Lawrence - who was also accused of rape by Miss Hand but found not liable - will not be awarded any costs.

The judge said it was a "singular and peculiar case" and may bring proceedings against McGregor for social media posts.

McGregor, who had denied the allegations, has already said he will appeal.
