Mixed martial artist Conor McGregor denied allegations that he sexually assaulted a woman during Game 4 of the NBA finals in Miami. 

Attorney Ariel Mitchell sent demand letters to McGregor, the NBA and the Miami Heat this week, stating that he "violently" sexually assaulted a woman in a men's bathroom, TMZ reported Thursday.

Mitchell said the woman is looking to settle with McGregor, the NBA and the Heat instead of going to trial. 

McGregor's attorney, Barbara Llanes, told PEOPLE: "The allegations are false. Mr. McGregor will not be intimidated."

Mitchell is currently in good standing with the Florida Bar Association, but a case was opened into her last year by the agency for allegedly offering a witness between $100,000 and $200,000 to change her testimony in a case involving musician Trey Songz, according to Law.com

She also represented a woman who accused Chris Brown of rape, but stepped away from the case after obtaining unspecified information from police, per Rolling Stone.
