Conor McGregor fight witness reveals reason for Ibiza club brawl and what happened after video ended

A witness has ‘revealed’ what happened after Conor McGregor appeared to strike a man in an Ibiza nightclub on Tuesday.

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

McGregor, 36, has not fought in the UFC since he sustained a doctor stoppage defeat to Dustin Poirier almost four years ago in July 2021.

And in recent days, the Irishman has been enjoying the sun and the delights of Ibiza. He has been pictured alongside several celebrities, including former model and reality TV star Katie Price and O Beach Ibiza owner Wayne Lineker, brother of ex-footballer Gary.

But on Tuesday evening, the fighter became embroiled in a physical altercation with a club goer and appeared to throw two punches with his left hand before several other people got in between the pair.

But what happened next?

One witness 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.”

While another added: "Someone came up to them and when Conor hit him, about five people fell to the floor as the guy stumbled back.

"It was a bit like bowling pins, but the guy was really shaken by the hits.

"About a minute later, the bouncers came and got him on the back and took him out of the club, because he had annoyed Conor.

"It was right before close anyway. There was no messing around, they just removed him.

"Conor left through the garden a bit later, he didn't look very happy that they got into a fight."

This is not the first time McGregor has hit the headlines for the wrong reasons in recent years.

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.
