The attorneys for both sides in the Conor McGregor alleged sexual assault case are speaking out. The alleged victim's attorney Ariel Mitchell says her client didn't fully understand what was happening at the end of Game 4 of the NBA Finals at the Kesaya Center.

"She said it was so chaotic she didn't know what was going on. She thought they were exiting the arena, " said Mitchell.

Mitchell adds her client was willing to go back to the MMA fighter's hotel, but not an arena bathroom for sex.

In a statement, McGregor's attorney says "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 are false. After not responding to the demand for money made by claimant’s counsel, she turned to the media to apply pressure. This is no more than a shakedown."
