Conor McGregor filmed 'throwing two punches' during party in Ibiza nightclub
Footage seen by Mirror Sport appears to show former UFC world champion Conor McGregor throwing two punches at an unidentified reveller while at a nightclub in Ibiza
Footage has emerged which appears to show former UFC world champion Conor McGregor throwing punches inside an Ibiza nightclub. The incident is alleged to have taken place at the Pacha nightclub on Tuesday morning.
Earlier in the week, McGregor was seen on the party island with TV personality Katie Price. The Irishman could be seen wearing a hat and sunglasses in a photo taken with Price and her friend Ryan Mira.
Now, according to footage shared by The Sun and seen by Mirror Sport, McGregor can be seen appearing to peer down to address an unidentified man on the dancefloor. Moments later, he appears to throw two punches., connecting with the second.
The individual falls to the floor moments after he seems to be struck by the second of two punches. The music playing at the club continues throughout.
Moments later, individuals standing close to McGregor appear to get in between him and other revellers. Mirror Sport has approached McGregor's representatives for comment.
McGregor has seen a number of UFC comebacks postponed in recent years. He last entered the Octagon in 2021, losing to Dustin Poirier in the third match of his trilogy with the American.
He was scheduled to make a comeback in the sport in 2024, with Michael Chandler identified as his opponent. However, McGregor was forced to pull out after suffering a toe injury.
"The fight that never happened, what could have been yeah. I would be lying to you if I didn't say that it was a tough moment, but overall, if people can look at their lives and realise that all the bad things that have happened to them usually work out for their good if they continue to stay diligent and work hard and believe," Chandler told Mirror Fighting in November 2024.
"Every single bad thing in my life, every single setback in my life, every single loss in my life has always turned out to be a good thing at some point. You look back and say 'Okay I'm able to learn X, Y, and Z because of it. I was able to grow as a human being, I'm in a great spot'.
"But during the process it was tough. Being the guy on the other side of the headlines with Conor McGregor is tough because he is so up and down and says a lot of things and he's always in the media. Then you've got the fans weighing in, the media weighing in, it was an interesting process but I handled it pretty darn well compared to how most would have. And I grew throughout the process."

International Sushi Day: Nika Club Omakase and its 100% gluten-free proposal
It is the quintessential ancient Japanese dish and has millions of fans worldwide. Sixteen years ago, an American expert on the subject decided to set a day on the calendar to celebrate it, and thus the current date was recorded: today, June 18th, International Sushi Day is celebrated. Argentines are devoted to meat, yes, but we love sushi, which has ceased to be an exotic food to become a dish consumed frequently, and in some cases weekly. There are many options in the city, but some places, due to their quality, technique, and flavor combinations, have earned a reference spot, as happened with Nika Club Omakase, in Palermo Hollywood. The place opened a year and a half ago, with a 100% gluten-free proposal and a kitchen led by chefs Belén Higa and Mako Moriyama, who reinterpret the essence of Japanese omakase with technique, flavor, and a contemporary outlook. What is omakase? For those who recently jumped on the latest gastronomic trend of omakase, it's worth refreshing a fact: Mako Moriyama, originally from Neuquén but with Japanese parents, was one of the sushimen who, back in 2009, was part of the Club M Omakase team—a small dining room that operated just meters from the current Nika, at a time when no one was familiar with this now-trendy term, which in Japanese means 'I leave it in your hands.' You might also be interested in: The Asian spots you have to try, according to the Time Out Guide Now, nearly a year and a half after its opening, Nika's team has grown and the proposal has been well received in the neighborhood. In line with a sustainable philosophy, local products have been added to the Japanese technique and tradition. With a calm voice and serene gaze, Mako tells Time Out he entered the gastronomic world over 20 years ago and that his first job was as a dishwasher. Over the years, and with full studies at the Argentine Gastronomic Institute (IAG), Mako climbed the ranks and gained renown. 'At Nika, besides being gluten-free, we have a kitchen low in sodium, fats, and sugar. Both in the dishes and at the sushi bar, we always try to avoid industrial products as much as possible,' says the chef, who today serves as head of the lunch sushi bar. "We are gluten-free, with a kitchen low in sodium, fats, and sugar" Among many other things, at Nika they make their own soy sauce because all the ones available in the market, explains Mako, contain wheat. 'Almost everything is made in our kitchen. With some products, artisanal gluten-free preparation is more complicated, so we turn to industry, like with gelling agents for pastries. But this is the minimum indispensable. We also try to minimize waste in all work processes,' emphasizes the sushiman. A zero-waste omakase As part of a zero-waste philosophy, nothing is discarded at Nika. Everything is used and reused. One example of this concept is reflected in the diner's experience, as the meal usually begins with something very oriental: gohan [typical Japanese rice] with furikake, a homemade seasoning prepared with dehydrated and ground ingredients, which can have many variants. 'We serve furikake at the start because in Japanese cuisine it works as an appetizer, something that makes you salivate to start getting hungry,' explains the chef, son of Japanese parents and born in Neuquén. 'Right now, for example, the kitchen team is preparing a furikake with fish bones. A demi-glace sauce is made, the fish—after drying—is ground and served as an umami factor in the furikake. Also, citrus peels or leftover bits of vegetables are reused for the vegetarian furikake. It's part of the philosophy.' Along the same lines of sustainability and love for traditional cuisine, Mako proudly talks about Nika's fermentation library, which, although not visible to everyone in the dining room, curious diners can ask permission to visit the kitchen and admire it. 'Seasonal products and natural ferments are key in our menu,' says Mako. 'This allows us to prepare unique dishes. There are ferments that are over a year old, and Juan Panizza, who knows the most about this, takes care of all of it.' "Seasonal products and natural ferments are key in our menu" What are ferments? In Panizza's words, 'ferments are a key tool in our gluten-free kitchen because they help transform flavors, add umami, and improve digestion.' They use misos made from legumes and rice, naturally fermented wheat-free soy sauces, and fermented broths better known as garum. 'Fermentation is an ancient technique that turns proteins into liquids full of flavors. In these fermentations, we use koji, a fungus that activates enzymes and enhances flavor,' Panizza explains. 'This way, we achieve live, complex, and unique preparations. Additionally, we ferment plums, chili peppers, strawberries, tomatoes, and peaches, which combined with a percentage of salt develop acidity and depth naturally. Thanks to this kind of fermentation, we have a variety of raw materials throughout different seasons.' Nika Club Omakase: one room, two proposals To enter Nika, you climb a staircase leading to the first floor, and newcomers are surprised by a room where everything adds warmth—from the furniture, the tableware, to the light filtering through large windows overlooking the street. At Nika, depending on the client's preference, one can choose the à la carte menu or the omakase experience. For those who surrender to the will of the itamae, their place is at the sushi bar, and the experience is unique because diners have the chance to have a one-on-one with the sushiman, watch the sushi being prepared, and ask questions. 'Feeding someone I don't know and having the customer leave happy is one of the greatest satisfactions this profession gives me,' Mako confesses. 'Also, with sushi now well established in Argentines' palates, there are more opportunities to experiment and for people to dare to try other Japanese dishes. Now that Nika has a large kitchen, we are working hard.' "Feeding someone I don't know and having the customer leave happy is one of the greatest satisfactions this profession gives me" At Nika, they celebrate International Sushi Day with a special menu 'It's a proposal where we combine the best Nikkei sushi pieces, which people love, with some more traditional ones, mainly consumed in Japan,' Mako says. 'That's why we added a futomaki, which is a nori seaweed roll on the outside and vegetables inside, something quite common in Japan and served often at family gatherings, end-of-year parties. But it's a piece you don't often see here. The name futomaki refers to the size of the piece, because 'futo' means large, and 'maki' roll.' There will also be miso soup to enjoy, 100% gluten-free, and traditional dishes like tamagoyaki. 'Basically, it's an egg omelet. It's made on a special square pan and rolled on itself with a special technique,' Mako explains. 'Tamagoyaki is so common in Japan it's even served in kids' lunchboxes for picnics. It provides much-needed protein.' A club for exclusive and pampered customers Finally, as an upgrade Nika offers its clients the chance to become members of the Omakase Club, an exclusive members-only room with a distinctive touch and many benefits. So far, 17 clients, or 'clubers,' are part of this membership, attending special events and always being considered for unique and exclusive experiences. Clubers are pampered, invited to try the latest kitchen creations, and the room is prepared and arranged for them if they want to celebrate their birthday.

Christine McGuinness returns to Celebs Go Dating after sexuality admission
Christine McGuinness has returned to Celebs Go Dating, just weeks after announcing she was withdrawing from the programme due to the mounting pressures of the reality show Christine McGuinness has returned to Celebs Go Dating just weeks after dramatically pulling out of the show. The reality star and former wife of TV presenter Paddy McGuinness took to social media last month to inform fans she had made the decision to quit the dating programme just days into filming. At the time, the 37-year-old said she felt as though the show had good intentions, but the experience was "too soon" following the finalisation of her divorce from Top Gear host, Paddy. But just over a month later, the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star has returned to the show and has been pictured at the grand finale, which was held in London. Love guru Anna Williamson took to social media, sharing a string of snaps from the final filming of the programme, surrounded by the famous faces who were looking for love, including Kerry Katona, Olivia Hawkins, Mark Labbett, Donna Preston and Sam Prince. Speaking about Christine's return, a source told The Sun: "Christine's return was kept top secret from everyone, so they were all so excited to see her come back. The cast were really sad when she quit the show, even though they totally supported and understood her reasons, so it was great to see her come back. "She started the journey with them all, so it was the perfect end that she got to finish the series with them too." They went on to explain that Christine didn't find love on the dating programme, but the decision for her to leave was the right one. Meanwhile, Anna captioned her upload: "Oh…my…..word. I cannot express just HOW good this series of @celebsgodating is!!!! "10 weeks of intense filming, dating, and coaching and we are done and dusted for another series. Oh my goodness, we have seen transformations in every single one of our amazing celebs!!! You are going to NEED to watch because it's THAT good. For now I have to shush (I don't want to spoil it) but let me tell you, making a show like this takes so many hundreds of incredibly talented people." She added: "I am so proud to be part of this show, it is one of the kindest, warmest, most fun productions I believe in the industry, and in an age where we are all more challenged to find the light in life than ever, it really is such a wonderful family to be a part of." Her return comes just weeks after Christine was praised for opening up about her sexuality, admitting that her former husband, friends and family had known she had dated both men and women. But while she didn't find love on Celebs Go Dating, she admitted that it shouldn't matter what someone's gender is. Speaking on the How To Fail podcast, Christine said: "It never mattered to me, which was why once me and my ex-husband were separated and I met people, I didn't properly date. It was more like blurred the lines of friendships for me, that was normal. It felt comfortable because I'd done that as a teenager and I, as a teenager, I dated both men and women. My ex-husband knew, my family knew, it was never a secret for me." She added that she doesn't label her sexuality and instead is a "free spirit." "No, and again, I've thought about it," she commented. Christine added: "A lot of people always ask me, are you a lesbian? Are you bisexual? Are you what? Is this a phase? I've always been quite a free spirit. I think that's the only word I would put on it. When I was a teenager, I'd dated boys and girls. 14/15 was probably when I had my first kisses with, with both, and I never felt it was anything different or a big deal."

Outlander star details 'disturbing' new role away from series in psychological thriller film
Outlander fan favourite Graham McTavish has opened up his new role in his upcoming film which is premiering this week. Outlander star Graham McTavish, best known for his role as War Clan Chieftain Dougal MacKenzie in the Starz show, has shared details about his new venture. The 64-year-old Scots actor is set to play a very different character in his upcoming movie Dirty Boy. The film follows the dark story of a boy called Isaac, played by Stan Steinbichler, who is a reclusive schizophrenic raised by a cult that are now framing him for a string of ritualistic murders. Isaac must discover the truth about his real parents and clear his name before time runs out, all while trying to overcome obstacles from both the cult and his alter-ego Frankie. The Outlander star plays the evil cult leader Walter Wentworth, the patriarch of the religious group who manipulates everything behind the scenes. During an interview with Reach Screen Time, McTavish said he was "immediately drawn" to Doug Rao's script, who also directed Dirty Boy. While some brand Dirty Boy as a "horror", McTavish said it's "much more than that", likening it to a psychological thriller, the Express reports. He added: "But it's very disconcerting, very disturbing and you just keep feeling like something really bad is about to happen." McTavish has played numerous villains throughout his acting career but McTavish says Dirty Boy's Walter is among the most despicable due to his irredeemable traits, even drawing comparisons with the infamous American child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The actor said: "There are parallels you could draw with a character like Wentworth with Jeffrey Epstein and that kind of world. Epstein didn't create a cult, but that sort of giving yourself permission to do anything and feeling that there will be no consequences, and that's what people like Wentworth do." He further remarked on how individuals like Epstein would "rationalise" their actions into a "story they tell themselves", labelling this as the "root of evil". Unlike some of his past villainous roles, the actor admitted he is finding it "hard to justify anything he's doing", making the part "very difficult" to play. Reflecting on one of the most disturbing scenes in Dirty Boy, McTavish spoke about the moment when Walter gazes at himself in a mirror while awaiting cult member Hope, played by Honor Gillies, before a sex ritual. He said: "It's very creepy. He's not looking in the mirror to see if he has any blemishes, he's just staring at himself, like that phrase 'staring into the abyss." Dirty Boy was filmed back in 2023 amidst the gorgeous scenery of Lake Grundlsee in Austria. The film's star studded cast also includes Netflix's Apple Cider Vinegar and Wentworth Prison actress Susie Porter, Olivia Chenery of Penny Dreadful and Queen fame, Hetty Feather's Ava Merson-O'Brien, along with Ruaridh Aldington, Heidi Rolph-Stott, Alice Lucy, Katharina Scheuba, and Michael Kodi Farrow. The independent film is set to make its UK debut at the Raindance Film Festival this weekend, before gracing cinemas in August. McTavish is currently working on various projects, including two films, his Bourbon brand McTavish Spirits, and a role in Starz's sequel series Spartacus: House of Ashur, set to premiere this autumn.
