Conor McGregor drops man with a punch in Ibiza night club

Footage obtained by The Sun shows McGregor in an altercation at the Pacha nightclub in Ibiza on Tuesday morning.

The former UFC double-champ is on a platform leaning down to talk to two men on the club dancefloor. Suddenly, McGregor sucker punches the man on the left, landing well before striking again and sending him to the floor.

This is still a developing story, reminiscent of McGregor's rocky history with assaulting patrons in bars. In 2019, McGregor punched an older man in a Dublin pub. In 2021, McGregor allegedly attacked an Italian TV personality in a nightclub in Rome.

'The Notorious' was arrested and charged with strong-armed robbery and criminal mischief in 2019 for swiping a fan's cell phone and smashing it on the ground. The charges were eventually dropped, as was a civil suit raised by the fan.

McGregor last fought in 2021, and his last knockout victory came against Donald Cerrone in 2020. As for his comeback plans, they seem to have long gone, as the fighting star continues to find controversy outside the cage.
