When asked if he had been contacted by representatives of the Irishman, the alleged victim said that he is not "able to disclose that information at the moment."
However, he did not deny the idea of taking legal action against the UFC's former double champ.
"We'll see how things go, right now I just want justice, to be honest.
"This happened to me and this could happen to anyone else, so justice need to be served in this type of manner," he added.
It has been reported by AP that Abdirak has in fact filed a lawsuit seeking compensation of over $15,000, accusing the MMA fighter of battery, assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
