Brutal footage of Conor McGregor 'knocking man out in Ibiza nightclub' emerges online

Former UFC champion Conor McGregor appeared to become embroiled in a physical altercation with a club-goer as footage has emerged online.

This article contains graphic/violent content, which some viewers may find upsetting.

McGregor, 36, has been in Ibiza in recent days and has been pictured partying alongside reality TV star Katie Price and club owner Wayne Lineker, brother of ex-footballer Gary.

McGregor has posted several photographs of his trip to social media, and appeared to be enjoying the delights of the Balearic Islands.

However, the Sun captured footage of the Irishman appearing to strike another man while partying in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

McGregor could be seen talking to a man before appearing to put his arm around the club-goer while he was standing on a raised platform.

But things quickly took a negative turn as McGregor appeared to throw two separate punches with his left hand while still holding a drink in his right before several people stood between the MMA fighter and the man on the receiving end of the punch.

The reason for the altercation is not totally clear, but a source told the Sun: “Clearly something’s been said to annoy him, and he’s reacted very badly.

“The guy seemed to fall to the floor, and his mates came to pick him up and get him away.

“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.”

The former two-weight UFC champion has not fought since July 2021, when he lost against Dustin Poirier.

McGregor has since had a scheduled bout against Michael Chandler cancelled.

Speaking back in March, the 36-year-old claimed that he was "in negotiations" regarding two fights, but no such deals have been struck at this time.

Then, in May, UFC President Dana White issued an update on McGregor's situation.

“He’s not fighting anytime soon," White told Adam Glyn.

"I haven’t talked to him in a minute, but yeah, I don’t know."

Outside of the octagon, the Irishman was found liable for the assault of Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel six years ago after a lengthy civil court case in the Republic of Ireland back in November 2024.

Hand was awarded €248,000 (£206,000) in damages.

In February 2025, BBC News reported that McGregor intended to appeal the finding of the civil case.
