Conor McGregor has revealed he paid to take all of his Black Forge Inn teammates to Ibiza to celebrate their recent league title win.
The two-weight UFC champion has been playing for his pub's over 35 team, who won the UCFL Premier Division title last month. McGregor jetted the team out to the party island of Ibiza to mark the success.
"To celebrate winning the league I took the @blackforgeinn football squad away on holiday to Ibiza! All expenses paid, VIP's," the Dubliner wrote on social media as he shared a number of photos and videos from the trip.
He continued: "LEAGUE CHAMPIONS, BABY! Reach out, link up, join a team! Get active! For the sake of your mental health you will thank yourself! #ibizapartyisland."
McGregor was involved in an alleged incident at a nightclub while on the Spanish island.
In the early hours of Tuesday, at Pacha nightclub, The Sun released footage that allegedly showed the Irishman appearing to peer down to address an unidentified man in the middle of the dancefloor. Merely moments later, the 36-year-old appeared to throw two punches.
The man hit the deck, and onlookers have since come forward to recount their version of the alleged incident. One individual - who saw the whole thing - claimed there did not appear to be any consequences for the former dual-weight UFC champion.
"The guy seemed to fall to the floor, and his mates came to pick him up and get him away," he told The Sun. "There [didn't appear to be any] consequences for Conor."
Another said: "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."
They added: "About a minute later, the bouncers came and got him on the back and took him out of the club."
"It was right before close anyway," they continued. "There was no messing around; they just removed him. Conor left through the garden a bit later; he didn't look very happy."
The scuffle unfolded mere hours after McGregor was seen on the island alongside Katie Price. The MMA icon was decked out in red shorts, a cap, and sunnies, casually indulging in a cigar.
Price took to Instagram to post a snap with McGregor, captioning it with: "You legend," following a shout-out from McGregor in his own story, where he penned: "Forever."
Spurs' defender and Austrian national player Kevin Danso also shared a moment with the ex-featherweight and lightweight UFC champ on his social media.
McGregor later updated his social media, writing on X: "You won't speak bad about my country and its people and that's ever. Vote McGregor."
Later, McGregor flaunted several snaps on Instagram, showcasing one amidst a group of blokes and another posing beneath an image of Al Pacino in the iconic 1983 movie Scarface.
This was not McGregor's first heated moment at an Ibiza bash. Three years prior, he angrily trampled on a fan's hat after it was lobbed at him for an autograph during his 34th birthday festivities.
McGregor gave the person a mock thumbs up and then hurled jibes their way.
The last time McGregor graced the Octagon was when he succumbed to his old foe Dustin Poirier in 2021. He had plans for a UFC return against Michael Chandler the following year but was side-lined by an injury he picked up whilst training.
It remains unclear whether he will make a return to competitive action. However, he has been hinting at a possible comeback by sharing numerous training videos in recent weeks.
