Conor McGregor – the UFC Irish champion – was filmed pounding a partygoer in Ibiza with two left hooks on Tuesday.
Films obtained by The Sun Shows the 36-year Irish fighter speaking to a man in the club’s dancing floor, before placing his arm around his shoulder.
McGregor held a drink with his right hand and struck the man in less than ten second after a quick conversation.
He followed it up with another punch, which caused the partygoer’s fall to the ground.

The incident took place at 553am when the club was closing.
McGregor was quickly surrounded after the altercation by his entourage, who were wearing a white shirt with a black stripe and a white pair of trousers.
Security staff reportedly removed the man who had been punched from the club, while McGregor continued to drink and remained inside.
One club-goer told reporters that something had clearly been said to provoke McGregor, who ‘reacted very badly’ to whatever transpired during their brief exchange.

McGregor was photographed earlier in the evening at Wayne Lineker’s O Beach Club with glamour model Katie Price.
