Former UFC star Conor McGregor has once again found himself in the spotlight for the wrong reasons after a violent incident at the renowned Pacha nightclub in Ibiza. Footage obtained by The Sun shows McGregor, 36, landing two punches on a fellow clubgoer in the early hours of Tuesday morning, sending shockwaves through the packed venue and the wider sporting world.
Conor McGregor Caught on Video Punching Clubgoer in Ibiza Nightclub
Eyewitnesses reported that Conor McGregor, dressed in a black and white shirt with tight white trousers, was seen chatting with a man on the club’s dancefloor before putting his arm around the individual’s shoulders. Within seconds, McGregor struck the man with his left hand while holding a drink in his right. The first punch appeared to miss, but the second, a clean left hook, sent the startled reveller tumbling to the floor.
According to clubgoers, the man who was punched was swiftly removed from the venue by security, while Conor McGregor remained and continued partying with his entourage. “There didn’t appear to be any consequences for Conor, but the guy he punched was taken away and I didn’t see him again,” one witness told The Sun. The altercation reportedly took place around 5:53 a.m., capping off a night of festivities for the Irish fighter.
Earlier in the evening, Conor McGregor was seen at Wayne Lineker’s O Beach club, posing for photos with glamour model Katie Price and other celebrities. Social media posts showed McGregor enjoying himself, puffing on a cigar and mingling with fans and friends before heading to Ushuaia club and eventually Pacha.
This latest incident is far from McGregor’s first brush with controversy. The former UFC champion has a history of violent altercations outside the octagon, including a 2019 assault on a pub patron in Dublin and a 2022 scuffle with a fan at the same Pacha resort. Legal experts note that while McGregor often avoids serious repercussions, these repeated incidents have damaged his public image and raised questions about his conduct.
As of now, it remains unclear whether McGregor will face any legal consequences for the Ibiza nightclub incident. The Sun and other outlets have reached out to his representatives for comment, but none has been issued so far. The club itself has not released an official statement regarding the altercation or any potential investigation.
The shocking video of McGregor’s actions in Ibiza has reignited debate about his behavior and the responsibilities of high-profile athletes.
