Shocking video shows UFC star Conor McGregor knock out man in nightclub

UFC star Conor McGregor was caught on camera getting violent with a man Tuesday morning at a nightclub in Ibiza.

Video obtained by British tabloid The Sun shows McGregor punching a man twice at a packed Pacha nightclub. In the footage, McGregor appears to be elevated while standing on a booth on the outskirts of the dance floor when he leans down toward a man facing him. Seconds later, McGregor punches the man with a short left hand and follows up with a harder, cleaner strike that knocks him down. McGregor stands and watches over the scene, shielded by his posse, while other club goers rush reacting to what happened.

The victim of McGregor’s violence was apparently escorted out of the nightclub, while McGregor was allowed to continue partying.

A person at the nightclub 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.”

McGregor is no stranger to trouble in Ibiza. In 2023, a woman accused McGregor of attacking her on a yacht in Ibiza.

Tuesday’s attack by McGregor is reminiscent of a 2019 incident in which McGregor was caught on video sucker punching an elderly man, seemingly for no reason, at a pub in Dublin.

McGregor, who turns 37 on July 14, hasn’t been a part of any sanctioned violence inside of a UFC cage (or boxing ring) since a July 2021 TKO loss to Dustin Poirier in which he broke his leg.
