Conor McGregor flattens man with two punches in packed Ibiza nightclub

Controversial UFC great Conor McGregor has landed in hot water once again after belting a bloke on the dance floor in Ibiza.

This is the shocking moment UFC thug Conor McGregor floors a club reveller with two brutal punches in a packed Ibiza nightclub.

Footage obtained by The Sun shows the ex-UFC star, 36, striking a man in the infamous Pacha nightclub on the Spanish party island while drinking on Tuesday morning.

UFC 317 Topuria vs Oliveira | SUN 29 JUN 12PM AEST | One of the biggest fight cards of the year has arrived. Spain’s Ilia Topuria looks to capture the vacant lightweight title against former champion, Charles Oliveira | Order Now with Main Event on Kayo Sports.

The Irish fighter is seen talking to a man on the exclusive club’s dancefloor before putting his arm around his shoulders from a platform above.

After the pair chat for less than ten seconds, McGregor strikes the man next to his pal with his left hand while holding a glass of booze in his right hand.

The first punch failed to cleanly connect, but less than a second later, the “Notorious” lands a clean left hook as the startled partygoer falls to the floor.

McGregor, wearing a black and white shirt and tight white trousers, is then shielded from club-goers by his own friends, who stormed the booth he was standing in.

Revellers in the nightclub revealed that after the bizarre scrap, the man punched by McGregor was thrown out, while the Irish fighter kept drinking.

One 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 short but violent scrap unfolded at 5:53am after McGregor, who hasn’t fought since 2021, had spent the night partying with his huge entourage.

Another club-goer said: “He had his arm around someone who looked like his mate.

“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.”

Earlier in the evening, the combat sports legend was pictured with glamour model Katie Price at Wayne Lineker’s O Beach club.

Taking to Instagram, he was seen puffing on a cigar while wearing red shorts, a sun hat and sunglasses while playing up to the crowd.

Price, 47, reshaped the story to her own Instagram page with the caption: “You legend,” after McGregor tagged her in his own story and said: “Forever”.

Spurs ace Danso also shared a snap of himself with the MMA fighter.

McGregor later changed his look to a matching black and white shirt and shorts combo as he headed to Ushuaia club during the night, before ending the night in Pacha.

The spat comes nearly three years after hot-tempered McGregor stomped on a fan’s hat after a teenager tossed it at him to sign in the same Pacha resort.

In the July 2022 bust-up, Conor angrily mouthed insults at the fan and gave him a sarcastic thumbs up.

And in 2019, McGregor famously sucker-punched a 50-year-old Irishman in a Dublin pub after he refused to take a shot of his Proper Twelve whisky.

The Sun has approached Conor McGregor’s representative for comment.
