Former MMA fighter Conor McGregor has lodged an appeal against the High Court civil judgment that he raped Nikita Hand.
Last year, a jury found Mr McGregor raped Ms Hand in a hotel in Dublin in December 2018 and awarded her almost €250,000 in damages.
The jury found that Mr McGregor's friend James Lawrence did not rape Ms Hand.
Her lawyers had alleged that he had falsely claimed he had sex with Ms Hand on the same day in order to damage her character.
Ms Hand claimed she was raped in the Beacon Hotel in Dublin on 9 December 2018 by Mr McGregor.
Mr McGregor was also ordered to pay the costs of taking the civil action against him.
