Dana White has made his feelings clear on Conor McGregor's behaviour as UFC fighter 'punches man in Ibiza club'

UFC president Dana White has made his feelings clear on Conor McGregor's behaviour amid footage of the Irishman allegedly knocking out a man in Ibiza.

A video posted by The Sun showed McGregor appearing to punch a man twice while in an Ibiza nightclub, knocking him to the ground.

Onlookers rushed to the scene to prevent any further altercation, with a source telling the outlet: "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."

The former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion has yet to respond to the viral footage. SPORTbible have contacted McGregor's representatives for comment.

The Irishman hasn't stepped inside the UFC Octagon since July 2021, when he lost via first-round doctor's stoppage to Dustin Poirier.

He was due to make a comeback at UFC 303 against Michael Chandler last year, but the fight was cancelled after he suffered a broken toe in training.

McGregor's behaviour either side of his last UFC fight has been a major source of controversy, with numerous clips of the Irishman in confrontation with others and partying in nightclubs and on yachts.

In February, he was filmed spitting at a fan of Khabib Nurmagomedov in a hotel lobby.

And in November 2024, he was found liable in Irish civil court for assaulting Nikita Hand in 2016. He was ordered to pay €248,000 in damages.

In June of that year, White had been asked about McGregor's behaviour in regards to the footage that had been circulating of him online.

"In one of them he's got a beard, in one of them he doesn't have a beard," he replied. "I have no idea, I don't know if any of that is real or true or whatever."

He was asked about the outcome of McGregor's civil case in December, stating: "If I had a comment I would have put it out already.

"He hasn't been fighting here in how long? If he does fight it will be sometime next year."

In a separate interview, White again confirmed that McGregor would fight 'early 2025' - a deadline that has been and gone - though did question whether he still had 'hunger' to compete after four years away.

"He's had so much time off," he said. "As far as the hunger, he's a very wealthy guy. We'll find out. We'll find out when he comes back.

"But he is definitely one of the big superstars of the sport that elevated the UFC all throughout Europe and other parts of the world. He's been a big star and a great partner for us."
