Ms Hand said she could not breathe and felt her “only defence was to bite him”.
“He didn’t like it. So he flipped around and had me by the neck and shoulders,” she said.
Ms Hand alleged that at this stage she froze.
“I couldn’t move, I was staring at the bed post thinking about my daughter, thinking I was gonna die,” she said.
“I thought I’d never see my daughter again.”
After this, she alleged Mr McGregor let her go and she apologised to him to “reassure” him so that “he wouldn’t hurt me again”.
Ms Hand said that McGregor said: “‘That’s how I felt in the octagon and I had to tap myself out three times’.
She added: “I thought it was such a weird thing to say. I promised him I wouldn’t tell anyone anything.
“I just let him do whatever he needed to do, so I could survive, I wasn’t myself anymore.”
After this, Ms Hand alleges the MMA fighter pulled off her clothes and raped her.
