A judge has said he is satisfied Conor McGregor has done what he was ordered to do in relation to the dissemination and sharing of CCTV footage, which was shown during the civil trial brought by Nikita Hand.
In January, Mr Justice Alex Owens ordered him not to share the footage and to give back or destroy any copies he has.
The judge said the jury in the civil trial conclusively determined that Mr McGregor raped Ms Hand in the Beacon Hotel in Dublin in December 2018, and it was not open to him to selectively use evidence in the public arena to suit himself.
The footage showed the 36-year-old, Ms Hand, James Lawrence and Danielle Kealy in the car park and lift of the Beacon Hotel before and after Mr McGregor assaulted Ms Hand.
It was played to the court on multiple occasions during the trial and viewed by the jury during their deliberations.
Mr McGregor had claimed Ms Hand did not look like someone who had been seriously assaulted in the footage.
Ms Hand became very upset when it was shown in court and said she was clearly very drunk in the footage.
Last month, Mr McGregor lodged an appeal against the High Court civil judgment that he raped Ms Hand.
Today, her lawyers asked the judge to issue an injunction, which they said would further restrain him from publishing or sharing the footage.
Ms Hand's Senior Counsel, John Gordon, said that Mr McGregor was not clear enough in his affidavits to the court and that he would have expected the MMA fighter to address a specific issue about causing anybody to receive the footage.
Mr Gordon referred to a Sunday newspaper article in which an Italian business associate of Mr McGregor, Gabriel Ernesto Rapisarda, claimed after the trial that the imminent release of the footage would increase sales of Mr McGregor's stout.

However, Mr Justice Owens said he had to rely on affidavits from people and that, according to Mr McGregor's affidavit, he had taken the steps asked of him and that any urgency in January had blown over.
The judge said the MMA fighter was the author of his own misfortune by sharing a social media post and that he was satisfied with the affidavits.
Senior Counsel Remy Farrell, for Mr McGregor, agreed with the judge that his client had done everything he was asked to do.
Mr Justice Owens awarded costs for this action against Mr McGregor.
