Conor McGregor 'appears to throw punches' in nightclub as man falls to floor
Video footage has surfaced that seems to show ex-UFC world champion Conor McGregor throwing punches in an Ibiza nightclub. The alleged incident is said to have occurred at the Pacha nightclub on Tuesday morning.
Earlier in the week, McGregor was spotted on the party island with TV personality Katie Price. The Irishman was pictured wearing a hat and sunglasses in a snap taken with Price and her mate Ryan Mira.
Now, according to a video shared by The Sun and viewed by The Mirror, McGregor can be seen seemingly leaning down to speak to an unidentified bloke on the dance floor. Moments later, he appears to throw two punches, connecting with the second.
The person falls to the floor moments after appearing to be hit by the second of two punches. The club's music continues to play throughout.
Shortly afterwards, individuals standing near McGregor seem to step in between him and other party-goers. The Mirror has reached out to McGregor's representatives for comment.
McGregor has had several UFC comebacks delayed in recent years. He last stepped into the Octagon in 2021, losing to Dustin Poirier in the third bout of his trilogy with the American.
He was due to make a comeback in the sport in 2024, with Michael Chandler named as his opponent. However, McGregor was forced to withdraw after sustaining 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."

Heather Payne seeking a new club as Everton allow her contract to run out
EVERTON WOMEN HAVE confirmed that Irish international Heather Payne will leave the club at the end of this month when her contract runs out. The former Peamount United player had been with the Toffees from late August 2023, and joins Justine Vanhaevermaet on the way out.

Zach Bryan Phoenix Park bag rules confirmed as urgent warning issued
There's just two more sleeps to go until Zach Bryan kicks off a rare three-night residency at Dublin's Phoenix Park. With around 180,000 fans expected across Friday 20, Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 June, this weekend promises to be one of the summer's biggest music events. The American country singer-songwriter, known for his raw lyrics and electrifying live performances, rose from posting homemade tracks on YouTube to topping the charts with hits like I Remember Everything, Pink Skies and Something in the Orange. These Phoenix Park shows mark the 29-year-old's largest Irish gigs yet - a huge leap from playing smaller venues like The Helix just three years ago. But before fans grab their cowboy boots and head for the gates, they need to think carefully about what they bring - especially when it comes to bags. Attendees must double-check their bags meet the strict size requirements, while still holding all the essentials for the night. Strict bag rules have been confirmed and fans are strongly advised to travel light and pack only what's necessary to avoid delays at entry. In a recent update, Aiken Promotions urged ticketholders: "Please do not bring a bag unless it is absolutely necessary." If you do need to bring a bag, it must be no larger than A4 size. Larger bags won't be allowed inside, and you won't be allowed to leave bags unattended anywhere in or around the venue, so it's important to follow these rules closely. Those arriving without bags will be fast-tracked through security, while anyone carrying an A4-sized bag will face a search, which could lead to longer queues. To keep things moving smoothly, concertgoers are advised to travel light and only bring the essentials: a phone or device with your ticket pre-downloaded, valid ID, sunscreen and clothing suitable for the weather. Meanwhile, fans should also be aware that there is an extensive list of banned items that won't be permitted inside Phoenix Park. This ranges from the likes of skateboards and flagpoles, to laptops and even ham sandwiches. You can read the full list here, so double check to avoid disappointment. Separately, for those eager to brush up on their favourite tunes before the show, click here for an expected setlist featuring some of Zach Bryan's biggest hits and fan favourites to get you ready for an unforgettable night at Phoenix Park.
