Conor McGregor removed from video game as sexual assault fallout begins
Yesterday at 04:58 PM
Conor McGregor has many sources of income, but some of those are beginning to be effected in the aftermath of his sexual assault case.
'The Notorious' will forever be one of the most influential mixed martial artists of all time, but his legacy outside the sport has been stained. Whether or not he is responsible for the crime he was accused of, the Irishman will likely have to carry that blemish for his entire life.
Several days ago, news broke that Conor McGregor had lost his case in court and was found guilty of sexually assaulting Nikita Hand.
Now, it is beginning to take effect on other areas of his life. It was revealed earlier today that McGregor will be removed from his cameo in the Hitman game, effective immediately.
The UFC star was the main attraction in Hitman 3's "Season of the Disrupter" DLC.
Something he's known to be great at, Conor McGregor portrays a villain and players were tasked with protecting Quantum Leap CEO Tim Quinn from McGregor's character.
Your chance to assassinate McGregor in the video game has now passed, as he will no longer be present in the Hitman series.

Hitman 3 isn't the only video game the Dublin native has partnered with over the years.
Perhaps more famously, McGregor played the role of Captain Bradley Fillion in the 2016 release of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.
While the fallout of the lawsuit could effect his other business ventures, it could also completely destroy any chance he had at returning to the octagon.
Conor McGregor's return has been teased for several years, and it now looks like further delays are being placed on any potential comeback—though that may never happen.
