A new video of Conor McGregor and the alleged sexual assault victim surfaced Saturday as the UFC star faces serious allegations over an incident in Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
The video, obtained by TMZ Sports, appeared to show McGregor and the victim at a club after the alleged rape occurred at the Kaseya Center in Miami. The video showed McGregor and the woman talking and then the former UFC champion walking out of the area.
Ariel Mitchell, the victim’s lawyer, told the outlet that the video showed the two were «visibly interacting in an awkward way.»

“My client has always said that there would be before and after videos, and in those videos he emphasized that the difference in the interactions between them would be visibly noticeable,” Mitchell said. «This is another video that supports what my client has been saying and supports what he has told the police since the start of this incident.»
McGregor’s attorney, Barbara R. Llanes, also commented on the video.
«While the plaintiff’s story has once again changed, our account of the evening has never changed,» the statement said. «This video only reinforces our position. We hope that the investigation is concluded quickly.»
The allegations initially surfaced on Thursday. Mitchell sent letters to the NBA and the Miami Heat detailing the client’s allegations of him.

On Friday, a separate video surfaced on TMZ Sports showing McGregor leading the woman by the hand into the bathroom. Several people were seen standing by the door before it closed.
Following the video’s release, Mitchell told the outlet that his client and McGregor had been together at a club inside the arena before the incident. McGregor then left to use the bathroom, but was soon told by a man wearing a Denver Nuggets jersey that «Conor told me for him to come get you.»

Mitchell told the outlet that her client was under the impression they were leaving the arena as discussed above and «she didn’t even remember who took her to the bathroom until she saw this video.»
Llanes said that «the plaintiff’s lawyer has now changed his story» after the video was released.
«After the video was released by TMZ, the plaintiff’s attorney has now changed his story. Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation, which he strongly believes will prove the allegations against him false. After failing to respond to the lawsuit money made by the plaintiff’s lawyer, resorted to the media to put pressure on it. This is nothing more than extortion.»

But Mitchell, in a statement to Fox News Digital, denied the idea that the allegations were «false» or an «extortion» attempt.
«Mr. McGregor’s team may call this extortion, these allegations are false, but the video is clear. A soon-to-be-married man with a fourth baby on the way is leading a woman he doesn’t know and not his fiancée pregnant to the bathroom,» Mitchell said.
«Until Conor’s team offer an explanation, we are not interested in commenting further. We are working with the police and have been since the start of this incident. We look forward to justice.»
