Conor McGregor caught on video knocking out man in Ibiza nightclub
Conor McGregor is once again in the news for the wrong reasons.
Conor McGregor's only fights continue to come outside of the cage.
Footage emerged Tuesday of the former UFC two-division champion twice punching a man in an Ibiza nightclub. In the video, which was first published by The Sun, McGregor can be seen speaking with an unidentified man from an elevated position before throwing two left hands in rapid succession, with the second punch sending the man reeling to the floor of the Pacha nightclub.

The Sun reported that the altercation occurred at 5:53 a.m. and that McGregor was permitted to stay while the victim of his punches was thrown out of the club. No arrests were reportedly made at the scene.
Video of the altercation can be watched below.
McGregor, 36, has not fought since he suffered a first-round loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, however his name has remained in the headlines, often for the wrong reasons.
McGregor was found liable for a 2018 sexual assault this past November and currently faces a sexual assault lawsuit stemming from an alleged 2023 incident in Miami. In a separate incident in Ibiza in 2023, he was accused of attacking a women on his yacht. This past January, he dropped multiple racial epithets in a social-media tirade against former rival Khabib Nurmagomedov. Tuesday's news also harkens back to the fighter's infamous sucker-punch attack of a 50-year-old man at a Dublin pub in 2019.

Both McGregor and representatives for the UFC star have yet to comment on his latest altercation.
McGregor was expected to make a long-discussed UFC return against Michael Chandler in June 2024, however the bout was cancelled weeks out from the event due to a broken toe suffered by the Irishman.

Threat group linked to UK, US retail attacks now targeting insurance industry
This story was originally published on Cybersecurity Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Cybersecurity Dive newsletter. Hackers linked to a recent string of attacks on U.K. and U.S. retailers are now targeting the insurance industry, according to Google researchers. The attackers, suspected to be part of the collective known as Scattered Spider, have been targeting the retail industry since April and pivoted toward the insurance industry earlier this month, according to Google. Researchers say there are already multiple confirmed incidents at insurance companies. 'Google Threat Intelligence Group is now aware of multiple intrusions in the US which bear all the hallmarks of Scattered Spider activity,' John Hultquist, chief analyst at Google Threat Intelligence Group, said in a statement. 'We are now seeing incidents in the insurance industry. Given this actor's history of focusing on a sector at a time, the insurance industry should be on high alert, especially for social engineering schemes which target their help desks and call centers.' There has been a 'wave of targeting' over the past one and a half weeks, according to Hultquist. Scattered Spider has a history of targeting specific industries in clusters; researchers previously linked it to attacks on MGM Resorts and other casino companies. The threat collective is known to utilize sophisticated social-engineering techniques designed to trick IT help desks and others into bypassing multifactor authentication or otherwise handing over credentials. Mandiant in early May released a hardening guide for security teams focused on Scattered Spider's techniques. Google's disclosure that the group is targeting insurers comes as Erie Insurance investigates a suspected cyberattack that it discovered on June 7. The company said it detected unusual activity and was working with law enforcement and forensic security teams to figure out the cause of a 'network outage' linked to an information-security incident. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it was investigating the full scope and impact of the incident. Neither Erie nor any researcher has blamed the incident on a threat actor yet. The Erie, Pa.-based insurance company operates in 12 states and has more than 7 million active car, home and business policies. The company warned customers that it would not contact them by phone or email to request payments and urged them not to click on links from unknown sources or share personal information with anyone by phone or email.

Conor McGregor punches a man in a club — again — and is anyone even surprised anymore?
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Conor McGregor was just caught on camera punching a man in a club. Twice, in fact. Because apparently the lesson he learned from punching an older fellow in a Dublin pub all those years ago was that it only makes you look worse when the other guy shrugs off your once-feared left hand and goes back to his pint, so you might as well clock him again. This latest incident happened early Tuesday morning in a club on the Spanish island of Ibiza, according to The Sun. If you want to know just how far McGregor has fallen, note that the story identifies him as an 'ex-UFC star.' Advertisement There's also a quote in the story from an unnamed witness who said that there did not appear to be any 'consequences for Conor, but the guy he punched was taken away and I didn't see him again.' Which, yeah, don't that just say it all? At this point it would almost be more newsworthy if McGregor went on vacation and didn't hurt anybody. Then again, can you even call it vacation when the guy doesn't really do anything? McGregor made millions from becoming a star in the UFC and then slapping his name on a whiskey brand that he later sold, which now wants nothing to do with him. Ever since, he's been a professional problem child the world over, with accusations often followed by legal charges trailing behind wherever he goes. Advertisement At this point it takes longer to scroll through the 'charges and controversies' section of his Wikipedia page than the 'professional mixed martial arts career' portion. That discrepancy is likely to continue, since there's only one of those sections that he still seems interested in adding on to. McGregor hasn't done the kind of fighting he gets paid for since 2021, when he suffered a broken leg and a TKO loss at the hands of Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. He was supposed to return against Michael Chandler last summer, but a devastating injury to his pinky toe forced him to pull out. Since then, he's been found liable for sexual assault in his home country of Ireland, a nation he has also insisted he will soon lead as president. He also had a lawsuit filed against him earlier this year for an alleged sexual assault at a Miami Heat game in 2023. You might remember his appearance at that game since he also punched a mascot, who then had to be treated for his injuries at the hospital later that night. All of this is in addition to his many other crimes and misdemeanors, like that time he threw a hand truck through the window of a bus filled with fellow fighters in New York. That, like this most recent club incident, was caught on video. So was that sucker-punch on a pub patron in Dublin. So was the incident where he snatched a man's phone and stomped on it outside a Florida nightclub in 2019. Advertisement The other thing they have in common is that McGregor has suffered no meaningful consequences for any of it. He's paid out fines and settlements, sure. But the fact that he keeps doing this — and doesn't even seem to care that he's doing it on video — shows how much he fears being caught at it again. The Dublin sexual assault case was the closest he's come to feeling any real pain as a result of his own actions. Everyone from video game makers to the whiskey brand owners to the people who put up a likeness of him in their wax museum all cut ties with him after that. Not the UFC, though. Those doors still seem open to him, if he ever rediscovers a willingness to punch someone who's ready and willing to punch back. McGregor is a colossal embarrassment to this sport, but that's nothing new. That's been our reality for several years now. He's the worst of all worlds. He's a fighter who doesn't fight, except when he's not supposed to. He was the biggest star in UFC history, and the association is still strong enough that he can continue to heap shame onto MMA while offering it nothing in return. Maybe the best we can hope for is that as these incidents become more common and even the hint of a UFC return becomes less plausible, eventually he'll become an embarrassment only to himself. It could be that we're almost there. They are calling him an 'ex-UFC star' now, after all. That's a label that's hard to argue with, since he's certainly not a future one.

Elderly Man Somehow Gets Mercedes A-Class Stuck Driving Down Rome's Spanish Steps
You aren't supposed to drive on the Spanish Steps in Rome, Italy. Even if you've never seen them, the name makes it pretty obvious that they're steps and therefore not for cars. Then again, you've almost definitely seen them since they were featured prominently in 2023's "Fast X." Alternatively, if you're too much of a snob to enjoy the "Fast & Furious" franchise, they were also used in "Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part One." Anyway, presumably in an attempt to recreate one of those scenes, an elderly man drove his decade-old Mercedes-Benz A-Class hatchback onto the Spanish Steps on Tuesday and got himself stuck, ABC News reports. Upon reading that, I'm sure you also assumed the man in question was an American tourist, but while more information may come out and change things, at least for now, I haven't been able to find a source that includes the man's nationality, so odds are, he's Italian. After all, you have to assume European newspapers would've been all over an American doing something stupid like that. Instead, all we really know is that he's 80 years old and didn't test positive for alcohol on his breath. Read more: These Are The Dumbest Car Crashes You've Ever Seen 🚨 RomeEarly this morning, just before dawn around 4:30 AM, an elderly man — about 80 years old — drove a car down the Spanish Steps — Mambo Italiano (@mamboitaliano__) June 17, 2025 Local authorities cited the man when they arrived but have not released his name or confirmed whether he personally owned the car or not. They also have yet to clarify whether or not he was using GPS navigation, which could possibly help explain how he got turned around. Considering he's reportedly 80, it wouldn't be surprising if we eventually found out there were age-related issues at play, and he really shouldn't have been driving anymore, but at least for now, there's no evidence to support that theory. Arguably, no one should drive in Rome because there's too much traffic. Authorities were able to remove the car, but to avoid damaging the Steps, which were first built back in the 1720s, they ended up bringing in a crane to lift it to safety. ABC News also reports that local authorities did not respond to a request for more information, so it's possible we may never know more about what happened. This also isn't the first time someone has driven a car down Rome's Spanish Steps or even the first incident in recent memory. Back in 2022, a 37-year-old Saudi man drove his rented Maserati down the steps and was later arrested at the airport in Milan, CNN reports. Following his arrest, he was charged with aggravated damage to cultural heritage and monuments, as his little escapade broke the 16th and 29th steps on the right side of the monument. The vehicle was safely removed by the fire brigade — Mambo Italiano (@mamboitaliano__) June 17, 2025 Want more like this?
