“After the video was released by TMZ, the claimant’s lawyer now has changed her story. Mr. McGregor welcomes the investigation, which he firmly believes will show the claims against him or false.

McGregor has not fought in the UFC for over two years but his return has been slated for later this year. He was recently a coach on The Ultimate Fighter, and that series is airing now on ESPN. It is yet to be determined how this incident will affect his return, if at all
