Conor McGregor and James Lawrence have had their bids to appeal a civil case against them rejected by the Supreme Court.

The UFC fighter was sued in a civil court last year over an incident in which he was alleged to have "brutally raped and battered" a woman in a penthouse at a south Dublin hotel in December 2018.
