Conor McGregor's fiancee Dee Devlin sent a message to the former UFC champion just days before he was filmed allegedly knocking a man out in Ibiza.
On Tuesday, The Sun shared a video of McGregor in the famous Pacha nightclub, where he appeared to punch a man twice in quick succession.
Stood on a raised platform and holding a drink in one hand as he talked to another person, McGregor produced two strikes with his left hand.
The man fell to the ground and onlookers were quick to stand in front of the two men to prevent a further escalation.

McGregor has been in Ibiza for a few days and was pictured partying alongside reality TV star Katie Price and Ocean Beach club owner Wayne Lineker, brother of former England player and Match of the Day host Gary.
It is not known what was said to spark the altercation but a source suggested to The Sun that "something’s been said to annoy" the Irishman.
McGregor, who hasn't fought inside the Octagon since his defeat to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, is yet to respond to his latest controversy.
What did Conor McGregor's partner post before Ibiza nightclub incident?
Days prior to the incident, McGregor's other half and long-term partner Devlin paid tribute to him with a Father's Day post.
Commenting on a post McGregor shared on Instagram, she wrote: "We love you beyond words!! Thank you for all you do for me and the kids you are our world! Happy Father’s Day to you daddy."
Having met when they were 2008 Devlin and McGregor share four children together, Conor Jr, Croia, Rian and Mack.
They got engaged in 2020 and Devlin has continued to stand by McGregor despite all legal issues - including the trial which found him liable of assaulting Nikita Hand in a civil court case.
The jury of eight women and four men found McGregor liable and he was forced to pay €248,000 (£206,000) in damages.
In a statement, McGregor said he "should never have stepped out on the woman I love the most in the world" but maintained his innocence and confirmed he would be appealing the verdict.
McGregor was caught on camera punching a 50-year-old man in a bar after he refused a shot of his Proper Twelve whisky back in November 2019, while he was filmed spitting at a fan of Khabib Nurmagomedov in a hotel lobby earlier this year.
