Conor McGregor is seeking to introduce evidence from the former Northern Ireland state pathologist. The former MMA fighter says it “bolsters” the credibility of claims by new witnesses that Nikita Hand was assaulted by her then partner — hours after she was allegedly assaulted by McGregor.

The former mixed martial arts fighter is appealing a civil jury’s finding that he assaulted Ms Hand, claiming bruising on her body could have been caused by her former partner.
