And he's certainly made his presence felt, making headlines for all the wrong reasons.
SunSport exclusively revealed 'The Notorious' PUNCHED a man in the VIP section of famous nightclub Pacha early on Tuesday morning.
The Irishman hit his fellow clubgoer twice before the punter, who it later was revealed was a pal of O Beach owner Wayne Lineker, was dragged away and kicked out of the plush club.
McGregor, 36, had a much less controversial start to his week on his island getaway.
The UFC's former poster boy partied at Lineker's celeb hotspot O Beach on Monday, setting up shop in the VVIP area.
The Dubliner was seen hanging out with former glamour model Katie Price and Tottenham star Kevin Danso.
McGregor was clearly loving the attention he was getting as he puffed on an expensive-looking cigar.
Ireland's first and only UFC champion enjoyed a big evening out at Ushuaia in Playa d'en Bossa with his Black Forge Inn FC team-mates on Tuesday.

And he had one of the best spots in the house to watch Calvin Harris, who was playing one of his several gigs at the venue this summer, spin the decks in front of thousands of revellers.
The party didn't stop there for Mystic Mac, who made the short walk across the road to live it up at Hi Ibiza.
EXCL Conor Mcgregor sports suspect eye as UFC thug dances with wife on yacht in first sighting since horror Ibiza attack
A few days later, the MMA superstar found himself rubbing shoulders with former Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers.
The pair shared a picture of them posing together.
McGregor has been calling a luxury yacht docked in Ibiza Town home for the last few days.
And he was spotted on Friday having a dance with his fiancee and the mother of his four children, Dee Devlin, on the deck as they soaked in the view from the vessel.
Punch shame
The identity of the man punched by McGregor was revealed by Wayne Lineker, brother of ex-Match of the Day host Gary, to be long-time O Beach employee Joe Gomez a few days after the incident.
And Lineker launched a staunch defence of his employee in a since-deleted Instagram post slamming McGregor's antics.
It read: "Thought about this post a lot.
"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.
'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.'

McGregor hasn't set foot inside the UFC cage since breaking his leg in his trilogy fight with Dustin Poirier in July 2021.
He was set to make his grand comeback last June against long-time rival Michael Chandler but withdrew from the Sin City showdown with a broken left pinky toe.
His future with the UFC has remains a mystery as last November he was found civilly liable of assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin Hotel in 2018.
But the former fan favourite is seemingly hellbent on making the walk to the octagon again.

Russell Martin warned over Rangers mistake as Celtic flop tells him challenge could be 'over before it even starts'
The new Light Blues boss gets up and running in pre-season on Monday with a big Champions League tie on the horizon Russell Martin has been handed a 'over before it even starts' Rangers warning if he overplays at Ibrox. The new Light Blues gaffer is in position and gets on the grass with his players on Monday as they begin pre-season. The ex-Southampton boss will be going all out to implement his style and brand of football on his troops from the off with a huge Champions League clash with Panathinaikos on the horizon. Speaking on talkSPORT, former Celtic attacker Tony Cascarino spoke about the new man in the dugout at Ibrox. And he made his views very clear on his philosophy and principles. He said: 'I understand that you can stick to your principles and your ideas. But if you're playing for Rangers and you're getting beaten 3-0 against Celtic, you're overplaying and they're demanding that you go for blood - because they do, whether we like it or not - that's what the Old Firm derby's like and you have to be matching that. 'If you're playing tippy-tappy football and you're winning, you won't have a problem. I'm being a bit disrespectful saying tippy-tappy but basically I mean overplaying in dangerous areas. 'If they do that against Celtic and come off second best again, it will be over before it even starts, it really will.' It's all systems go at Ibrox with the players back at Auchenhowie tomorrow and the club holding an EGM. Fans are now desperate to see new faces with a host of names linked including Conor Coady and Max Aarons.

UFC president Dana White ended months of uncertainty in the heavyweight division by delivering the news after Saturday's Fight Night in Azerbaijan. Advertisement Aspinall spent 19 months as interim champion and is only the third Briton to become a UFC champion. American Jones – considered one of the greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time – had not competed since defeating Stipe Miocic in November. 'Jon Jones called us last night and retired,' White said. 'Jon Jones is officially retired. Tom Aspinall is the heavyweight champion of the UFC. Advertisement 'Do I regret the time that I gave (Jones to decide)? Listen, if you look at what he's accomplished in the sport, no.' Aspinall had unsuccessfully campaigned to fight 37-year-old Jones. Reacting to the news, the 32-year-old, who last fought in July, posted on Instagram: 'For you fans, it's time to get this heavyweight division going. An active undisputed champion.' Aspinall is expected to defend his title this summer or in early autumn, with number-one contender Ciryl Gane a likely opponent.

'He's been willing to do anything, fight him (Jones) anywhere at any time and do this, and now he's like 'I'll fight anybody – you tell me who and I'll fight them'.'

Made In Chelsea star pregnant as she shares sweet pic of blossoming bump
Made In Chelsea's Jessica Woodley is expecting her first baby with partner, Mark Logan, after claiming she was still battling 'trauma' from her stint on reality TV Made In Chelsea star, Jessica Woodley, is expecting her first baby with her partner, Mark Logan. The reality star, 30, broke the happy news on Instagram, telling fans that it was an honour" to become a mother in an adorable post. Taking to Instagram, Jessica, who shot to fame on the Channel 4 show in 2015 before she left in 2017 after having a relationship with co-star Jamie Laing, shared a snap of her blossoming baby bump. Captioning the photo, which was taken in the Wicklow Mountains in Ireland on a recent holiday, she wrote: "Motherhood, Thankyou for choosing me my sweet child. It is an honour to grow you. You are SO LOVED. You are my Guru now. Your daddy and I are waiting with open arms, Thankyou for blessing us with your grace." Jessica's baby news comes after she admitted she was still dealing with the 'trauma' of appearing on reality TV, which made her famous. In 2020, she branded her experience 'dangerous', adding that she regretted her decision to take part in MIC as she called for people to "cancel reality TV". She wrote: "A little personal note to anyone on here who may be following me from when I was on a reality TV show. I just want to express how dangerous the nature of mainstream reality TV is... "The effects it can have on a human being, to me, it felt like I made a decision at a very young age, resulting in what feels like identity theft. "Finding my way home has and is taking longer than I expected. I never imagined the repercussions of this choice of mine, but here I am faced with a dilemma and to me a trauma. "We all made mistakes in life this feels like mine if you are following me for the wrong reasons and support reality TV please unfollow me. "We need to come together and cancel reality TV. I really really encourage you to erase watching/ supporting these programmes." Announcing her decision to quit the show eight years ago, Jess said: "I'm not filming for it [the new season]. It's been fantastic and has given me the platform I've always wanted, but now I'm focusing on my fashion brand. "The door's always open, but I'm taking this time to focus on myself." Jess was one of MIC's main characters between 2015 and 2017, which saw her sandwiched in a love triangle with show lothario Alex Mytton and his then-girlfriend Nicola Hughes. The mum-to-be's former co-star, The Hills cast member Stephanie Pratt, later expanded on Jess' decision to quit the show, saying: "I think Made In Chelsea didn't make Jess happy. "She was definitely the type of person that had rage and regret, so it was harder when it [the show] would come out months later. She just wasn't happy on the show."
