A neighbour of Nikita Hand has alleged she saw her being assaulted by her ex-boyfriend just hours after she claims she was raped by Conor McGregor.

The Court of Appeal today heard details of the witness' claims as part of the ex-UFC star's bid to seek a retrial of last year's civil rape case.

However, Ms Hand's legal team branded the claim as lies and said they should not be accepted as part of the appeal.

Niall speaks to Sunday World news editor Eimear Rabbitt about Conor McGregor's high-stakes appeal.
