CONOR McGregor has been accused of trying to rape a woman in a VIP bathroom after security guards allegedly stopped her friend from entering the stall to help.
The lawsuit was filed Tuesday and alleges the UFC fighter, 36, sexually assaulted a woman at the Kaseya Center in 2023.

The alleged assault happened after the Miami Heat’s NBA Finals game against the Denver Nuggets on June 9.
The alleged victim claims Irishman McGregor took her to the VIP men’s room before launching his attack.
She claims his security team – staff at the Kesay Center – prevented her friend from entering the bathroom where she and McGregor were.
The woman also claimed that martial artist McGregor was drunk and “out of control” when he allegedly tried to force her to have sex with him “without her consent”.
She then claims she was thrown face up against a wall and put in an “arm lock” while he allegedly tried to rape her.
The UFC fighter then allegedly threw her “face against the wall” and spat on her when she tried to leave.
The plaintiff claims that she suffered “physical, psychological and emotional damage” as a result.
It comes after the woman, who is described as a 49-year-old who works on Wall Street, filed a criminal complaint for sexual assault.
A report was filed with Miami City Police, but criminal charges were dropped, according to the Florida Attorney General’s Office.
Her attorney, Jim Dunn, released a statement after the lawsuit was filed.

It said: “My client has thought long and hard about the decision to bring this civil action and fears the impact it may have on her business on Wall Street.
“Regardless, her main goal in filing this lawsuit is to raise awareness and encourage others to report sexual assault.”
Barbara Llanes, McGregor’s lawyer, also released a statement to ESPN after the civil suit was filed.
It said: “After a thorough investigation at the time, the Attorney General’s Office concluded that there was no case to pursue.

“Nearly two years and at least three lawyers later, the prosecutor has a new bogus story. We are confident this case will be dismissed as well.”
McGregor denied the allegations.
The alleged victim is seeking damages including compensation and medical expenses.
She also filed a lawsuit against Heat Game, accusing the staff of negligence.
Her lawsuit points to when McGregor punched Heats mascot ‘Bernie’ on the court during a match.
McGregor was introduced at halftime and took down the mascot with a pre-planned punch.
But Burnie reportedly needed medical attention at a nearby hospital after his on-field strike.
That’s according to The Athletic, which claims he was taken to “the emergency room of a nearby hospital for treatment.”
The woman’s lawsuit alleges that arena staff gave McGregor preferential treatment after the incident.
The file says employees ignored the “increased risk of battery ejection” as a result.
It came after McGregor insisted last year he would appeal against a second verdict by a civil court jury that he assaulted a woman in a Dublin hotel room.
She accused the Irish mixed martial artist of “brutally raping and beating” her after Christmas night in December 2018.
The Irish sports star – who arrived in court hand in hand with his partner Dee Devlin – claimed he had consensual sex with the woman.
On November 22, a jury in the civil case against McGregor decided that he had assaulted her.
He was ordered to pay her almost €250,000 (£207,000).
The Sun has approached McGregor for comment.
