McGregor has not been charged with a crime, though his accuser’s attorney warned of possible litigation.
“We know a lengthy, public litigation would encourage other victims and witnesses to come forward,” Mitchell’s letter read. “This firm has been instructed to explore all reasonable settlement offers to resolve these claims before they escalate further.”
UFC told NBC News in a statement that the organization “is aware of the recent allegations regarding Conor McGregor and will continue to gather additional details regarding the incident.”
Meanwhile, the Miami Heat and the Kaseya Center, which were issued a letter from Mitchell as well, said in a joint social media statement on June 15, “We are aware of the allegations and are conducting a full investigation. Pending the outcome of the investigation, we will withhold further comment.”
Mike Bass, a spokesman for the NBA, issued a statement from the organization reading: “We are aware of the allegations and are working with the team to gather more information.”
