The jury in the Conor McGregor trial have been told it does not matter if they "loathe" him. Remy Farrell SC, representing the Irish mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter, began his closing argument at Dublin High Court on Tuesday. Dublin woman Nikita Hand has accused the sportsman of rape after a Christmas night out in December 2018. He denies all allegations. The trial is a civil case in Dublin High Court after the Director of Public Prosecutions in Ireland refused to charge Mr McGregor criminally. Mr Farrell told the jury that "what is important is the evidence". "The case is not about a hot take, or what colour writers in newspapers say its about, it doesn't get reduced to one soundbite, it's about evidence and nothing but the evidence," he said. He told the jury that their opinions on Mr McGregor did not matter.
