UFC star Conor McGregor is currently facing rape allegations in Florida and the 34-year-old Irishman was surrounded by a huge group of supporters while leaving the hotel in New York City with his fiancee and children on Sunday. The former two-division UFC champion thanked his fans for their support and pledged to fight again following his sexual assault allegations.
The rape allegation against McGregor was first reported by the New York Times on June 16 after a woman alleged that she was raped by the UFC star in a restroom during Game 4 between Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat in the NBA Finals in Miami. McGregor has denied the allegations through his lawyer, who called them "no more than a shakedown."
While leaving a hotel in NYC on Sunday with his fiancee Dee Devlin and kids, the Irishman's fans surrounded him and asked for pictures and his autograph. Conor thanked the fans for their support and assured them that he will return to the octagon soon. During the interaction with fans, one person asked, "Conor What's next for you?", and he replied, " Fighting. Looking to get a fight going."

Conor is yet to make his return to the octagon since his last fight against Dustin Poirier in UFC 264 in July 2021. During his trilogy fight against the American fighter Poirier, McGregor broke his ankle. Although, Conor has gained his fitness as he continuously keeps on posting his training and other videos on social media.
McGregor is currently coaching on "The Ultimate Fighter" opposite American star Michael Chandler and is scheduled to fight the lightweight contender after the show ends. Although a date hasn't been finalised yet, the fight between McGregor and Chandler is supposed to take place in 2024.
