Pictured: Conor McGregor gets frisky with partner Dee Devlin as UFC star sports bruised eye in first sighting since horror Ibiza nightclub attack
Conor McGregor has been seen for the first time since flooring a party goer at the infamous Pacha nightclub in Ibiza on Tuesday morning.
The disgraced fighter was seen hitting the reveller on the Spanish party island as he boozed until the early hours.
McGregor, 36, was seen in conversation with a man before putting his arm around his shoulders and lashing out on the dance floor at 5:53am as music continued to loudly blare.
He could be seen speaking to the man for a few seconds before hitting him with his left hand while holding a glass of alcohol in his right. McGregor, a former UFC featherweight and lightweight champion, then landed another blow just seconds later to leave the reveller on the floor.
The Irishman, who was wearing tight white pants and a black and white shirt, has not fought since 2021 and was protected from his victim by his entourage after flooring him.
Now, he has been seen relaxing with fiance Dee Devlin on a yacht in Ibiza - but appearing to don a marked eye.

McGregor was seen shirtless but appearing to have a mark by his left eye
MCGregor and Devlin got engaged in August 2020, with the MMA star proposing while he celebrated his 32rd birthday in the south of France. They have been together since 2008.
And, this week, their love was on full display as the Irishman was seen grabbing his fiance and kissing her neck.
They also shared a kiss and danced in the marina, with a shirtless McGregor appearing to have a red mark on his face following the midweek incident.
McGregor was then reportedly allowed to continue partying while the man punched by him was booted out of the venue.
One party-goer 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.'
The violent scrap came just hours after McGregor was seen partying with Katie Price at Wayne Lineker's famous O Beach club.
McGregor sported red shorts, a cap and sun glasses while puffing on a cigar and playing up to the crowds at a wild day time party.
Price shared a picture of the pair on her Instagram page with the caption: 'You legend,' after McGregor tagged her in his own story and said: 'Forever'.
Tottenham defender Kevin Danso also posted a picture with the former fighter on his Instagram.
Lineker, meanwhile, expressed his disappointment with McGregor over the incident, having revealed the identity of the man involved - someone called Joe Gomez.
He wrote: 'This is my very close friend who has worked at Ocean for eight years, he has the most special heart and in all of the years that I've known him he has never raised his voice once.
'He took two punches from Conor McGregor in Pacha for absolutely no reason.
'Let me introduce you to Joe Gooomez (sic). He took the punches like a champion.'
He continued: 'I've since deleted my post of Conor at Ocean on Sunday. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.
'We at Ocean Beach Ibiza will always put our family first #wearefamily.'

I won't be having a small second wedding. Here's why
I t was apparently Samuel Johnson who wrote that second marriages are 'a triumph of hope over experience' (although Oscar Wilde often gets the credit). Either way, there's definitely something triumphant about Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's second time saying 'I do'. While they have both been married before — and were still married when they got together, if their leaked text messages are to be believed — the world's fourth-richest man and his bride-to-be are reportedly having a very big day in Venice this week. We're talking superyachts, 27 couture outfit changes and the city's hotels block-booked for their 200 closest friends, including Musk, Zuckerberg, the Kardashians and co. Tying the knot for a second time has officially shaken off its low-key associations. It's no longer a sheepish affair, involving a non-white dress and sarcastic comments about 'second time lucky'.

Unknown novel by writer who charted Hitler's rise becomes German bestseller
A previously unknown novel by one of Europe's most influential postwar journalists which captures the heady yet fragile spirit of the final days of the Weimar Republic has been published in Germany after his children discovered the hand-written manuscript in his desk. More than nine decades after he wrote it, Sebastian Haffner's Abschied or Parting has soared to the top of the Spiegel bestseller list following its debut earlier this month. Haffner, who fled Nazi Berlin with his Jewish fiancee in 1938, achieved instant recognition in 1940 with his penetrating prewar classic Germany: Jekyll and Hyde. Winston Churchill is said to have told his cabinet to read it in order to comprehend the Nazi threat. Haffner, who changed his name in the UK from Raimund Pretzel in order to protect family still living in Germany, went on to work as a journalist in London for the Observer. He was recognised as one of the commanding analysts of nazism and what brought Hitler to power, returning to Berlin for the Observer in 1954, and later becoming a prominent columnist for the news magazine Stern. His son, Oliver Pretzel, 86, said his family had deliberated for years over whether to release Parting after Haffner's death in Berlin aged 91 in 1999. They had been concerned, he said, that the work, a love story, might have seemed too slight, and overshadowed their father's towering reputation as a heavyweight commentator. 'My sister didn't think the novel was very good,' Pretzel, a professor of mathematics based in London, told the Süddeutsche Zeitung. 'I initially shared this view somewhat. But when I re-read it and since I set about translating it into English, I suddenly realised how ingeniously constructed it is.' Happily, the critics seem to agree. In Germany they have heaped praise on the 181-page work, calling it 'a literary windfall', an 'incredibly fast-paced, light, and lively text', and 'a beautiful book of youthful sparkle and great emotional impact'. Set on the last day of a two-week sojourn in Paris by the protagonist and his love interest, Teddy, before he has to return to a Berlin overcome by a growing sense of fear and political uncertainty, the novel was 'shockingly lucid', Marie Schmidt wrote in the Süddeutsche. The novel reflected the same 'keen historical awareness that astonished and fascinated the world' in Haffner's other posthumous work, History of a German, she added. That book was written in 1939 but only published for the first time in German in 2000, and in English, under the title Defying Hitler, in 2002. It was praised for its clear-sighted scrutiny and credited with extinguishing the repeated assertions of Haffner's contemporaries that they had not known about Nazi crimes. Jekyll and Hyde was first published in Germany in 1996 under the title: 1939 – Deutschland von innen betrachtet (Germany observed from within). Both books also topped the German bestseller lists when they were published. Haffner was 24 when he wrote Parting in just a few weeks in October and November 1932, just months before the Nazis came to power. His attempts to get it published failed. Its narrator, Raimund, is an apprentice lawyer who smokes Gitanes Rouge and reads Aldous Huxley. In Paris in the spring of 1931 he meets Teddy, who has left Berlin, describing it as a time in which 'crisis had not yet been invented'. Teddy is thought to have been based on Gertrude Joseph, a Jewish woman from Vienna with whom Haffner had been in love. He described in his autobiographical book History of a German how she had returned to Nazi Berlin from Paris for the last time in the summer of 1933, bringing with her 'an air that one could breathe, and which one breathed in greedily'. Raimund in the novel describes the growing foreboding of having to 'leave for a cold Berlin'. Haffner and Joseph, who ended up in Sweden, kept in touch until the end of their days. Twenty letters from him to her were found in her possession on her death. In an epilogue to the novel, the literary critic Volker Weidermann says the family's fears about its publication were unfounded. 'It [Parting] completes the historical picture that Haffner has presented to us in his … historical writings because it describes the root cause of the grief on which his later books lean, of everything of a good Germany that was lost – cosmopolitanism, tolerance, and humanity. Haffner himself repeatedly emphasised that history unfolds in private micro stories that, together, make up greater world history. In Parting he has set out this core idea.' An English-language edition of Parting, translated by Oliver Pretzel, is expected to be published by Weidenfeld & Nicolson.

Whoopi Goldberg sparks 'jealousy' on The View with co-hosts as she skips show for a week
Whoopi Goldberg 's pals on The View are jealous of the their co-worker and with good reason. Goldberg, 69, who stated on the show last week that Black people in the US were as oppressed at citizens of the Iranian regime, will be skipping the show all week. 'We are all jealous of Whoopi today because she's in Italy — I hope it's 100 degrees,' The View host Joy Behar said at the top of Monday's show. 'She's in Italy accepting an award for her book Bits and Pieces, so she will be out this week.' Behar will serve as moderator this week and Ana Navarro joined the panel for Monday's Hot Topics discussion. The show will begin its annual hiatus June 30, and the Oscar winner will be back in her seat alongside Behar, Sunny Hostin, Sara Haines, Navarro, and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, when the chat show resumes on July 7. 'We are all jealous of Whoopi today because she's in Italy — I hope it's 100 degrees,' Joy Behar said at the top of Monday's show Goldberg on social media shared a photo of her experience at the Taobuk-Taormina International Book Festival, which is in its 15th year. 'Thank you (Grazie!) @taobukfestival for giving me a beautiful experience in an extraordinary environment, an honorable award and your kindness,' she captioned the social media post. 'Books are so important to all the world.' Goldberg's tome, Bits and Pieces: My Mother, My Brother and Me, received the Taobuk Award. The Oscar winner looked elegant in a black and white jacket over a simple black collared dress with an A-line skirt. The event was broadcast on television from the ancient Greek theater in the city of Taormina. Leaders with the festival said in a statement on the website 'the theme chosen for the 15th edition of Taobuk, Boundaries , confronts us with a cultural, intellectual, and historical responsibility—one that demands depth of vision and inquiry, and from which we cannot and do not wish to shy away. 'This responsibility of vision has always been the driving force behind Taobuk's curatorial choices. In the etymology of the word boundaries — cum finis, which conveys the idea of a shared limit—lies the very complexity of this challenge, one of the most dramatic, intricate, and urgent issues of our time.' Goldberg's memoir became an instant New York Times Bestseller when it was released May 7, as readers gave it 4.7 out of 5 stars based on over 3,600 Amazon reviews. Goldberg garnered controversy Wednesday after making remarks about how she felt gay and Black people had been persecuted in the U.S. Her controversial comments came after cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin pointed out how Iran's regime executed gay people and forced women into rigid dress codes. Goldberg said: 'We have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car - listen, I'm sorry - they used to just keep hanging black people; it is the same.' Goldberg has served as a co-host and moderator on The View since 2007, replacing comedian Rosie O'Donnell. She has past made headlines on the ABC series for her shock remarks on topics ranging from the Holocaust in 2022, to Mel Gibson to Roman Polanski in 2009. In 2009, she said of Polanski's admitted act of sex with a 13-year-old girl in 1977: 'I know it wasn't rape-rape. 'It was something else but I don't believe it was rape-rape. He went to jail and and when they let him out he was like, "You know what, this guy's going to give me a hundred years in jail. I'm not staying.' So that's why he left.' She said in the same episode: 'We're a different kind of society, we see things differently ... would I want my 14-year-old having sex with somebody? Not necessarily, no.' Goldberg's most recent comments led her to be targeted by multiple critics for her controversial commentary in the Instagram post she put up about her trip to Italy. 'You realize married women in Iran need their husband's permission to get a passport and travel?' said one social media user. 'Is there a law in America I am unaware of that states the same about black women in America?' Said one commenter: 'Please move to Iran. And STAY there.' One person asked the Hollywood veteran: 'How can you not be embarrassed to show your face in public?' One social media user suggested, 'Why don't you visit Iran for a month and tell us how amazing it is.'
