Nikita Hand, who accused the former two-weight champion of raping her in a Dublin hotel in December 2018, won her claim against him for damages in a civil case at the High Court last Friday.
The 36-year-old was ordered by the jury to pay €248,000 in damages and a number of brands have since attempted to end their association with the MMA fighter – including video game franchise Hitman.
Scully Fitness, a gym based in Galway, has taken the step of painting over a mural of McGregor from their walls.
A video showing the removal process of the mural, which has overlooked the gym since 2017, has quickly gone viral online.
The video also features a paraphrased McGregor quote, which states: "The double champ does not do what he wants."
Similarly, Belfast bar Filthy McNastys is set to remove a large McGregor mural on their wall which features a quote from the sportsman.

This follows the news that some of the biggest retailers across Ireland and the UK have confirmed plans to stop selling alcohol products linked to the former UFC lightweight champion.
McGregor’s business ventures include whiskey brand, Proper No. Twelve as well as his own stout, Forged Irish Stout.
On Tuesday, Barry Group confirmed to Extra.ie that they had made the decision to remove Forged Stout and Proper No. Twelve from circulation.
The group owns both Costcutter and Carry Out in Ireland. Tesco also confirmed to Extra.ie that Proper No. Twelve would be removed from sale both in-store and online.
The alcoholic drinks lines are also no longer available in SuperValu, Centra, Daybreak and Mace with a spokesperson for Musgrave confirming the products were ‘no longer available’ in their store network.
