Former UFC megastar Conor McGregor could be facing some new legal troubles in the near future after an incident that took place in Ibiza.

In a video obtained by The Sun, McGregor was having a night out with some friends at Pacha at around 6 a.m. local time on Tuesday. He then leans in to talk to someone before knocking them to the floor with two punches from his left hand.
The footage cut out before we could see how the patron was affected.
But whatever happened, it doesn't seem to have been much of an issue for McGregor. He was allowed to stay at the venue while the patron that he punched wound up getting kicked out.
If McGregor didn't have any authorities called on him then, it's hard to imagine that he'll have to head to a courthouse to get it resolved.

Video of the alleged incident has gone viral.
Even so, to see McGregor seemingly lay a man out that he wasn't squared up with is a little disturbing.
It's also a bit hard to assume McGregor wasn't the aggressor given some of his previous violent antics around the world. From bar fights to assault charges to serious criminal allegations, McGregor has practically had to buy his lawyer a plane ticket next to him wherever he's gone.

"Weird how many altercations he gets into… Looks like he fell off and now takes it out on random people," one user wrote on X.

"Another sucker punch from McGregor. At least this guy wasn't a pensioner," wrote another.
"The guy has his head down drinking water. The other is supposed to be a pro fighter but throws a couple of dirty digs when the lad is not even making eye contact."
"This isn't a shock to many people. We know what type of person he is. Anyone who thinks he is a suitable to be President of Ireland doesn't respect Ireland enough."
"Bully and a thug. Would love to see him bump into Khabib and get disciplined again."
It may not send him to jail or even the inside of a courtroom, but this incident is yet another hit to McGregor's reputation.

Jon Jones' UFC retirement leaves a complicated legacy — and the final chapter will always be a part of it
'Jon Jones called us last night and retired.' That's how it ended, according to UFC CEO Dana White. The man who would be GOAT called it a career via late-night phone call some seven months after his first UFC heavyweight title defense. So he claims, anyway. Advertisement In between the last trip into the cage and the final phone call there was a lot of time-wasting and truth-bending, with the result being … this. A laughably anticlimactic end to a great though troubled career. (Immediately after which, we'd discover he has yet another case pending back home in Albuquerque. But more on that later.) All of it makes you wonder, if we were going to just do this in the end, couldn't we have done it half a year ago? It also raises the question: How much will this messy, frustrating final chapter shape Jones' overall legacy as an MMA and UFC great? Jones was never going to fight interim champ Tom Aspinall. That ought to be clear by now. In all his many public statements, by which I mostly mean tweet responses to internet randos who called him out for ducking the fight, the one thing Jones never said was that he had definite plans to beat up big Tom at some point in the future. Sometimes he said maybe. Plenty of times he came right out and said no. He claimed that Aspinall just didn't excite him enough, and said it was pointless because if he beat him then there'd just be another guy after that. Advertisement (A couple things about that claim: 1. That is basically what it means to be champion. Challengers keep stepping up and you are expected to fight them. That's how it works. That's how it has always worked. 2. Look around at the UFC's heavyweight division right now. Does it seem like the big problem is the abundance of interesting contenders? This was the big one, man. The only heavyweight money fight out there.) Refusing to accept what is essentially the most interesting challenge Jones has faced in at least five years, it's not a great look. Making us all wait until we're sick of even talking about it before finally admitting that he wasn't up for it is plain dumb. It's what you would do if you were a pro-wrestling heel trying to turn the audience against you. And while Jones seems to enjoy a good troll job, it's hard for me to believe that his master plan all along was to make himself hated by fans on his way out the door of this sport. Advertisement Jones cares about legacy. He cares a lot, even if he doesn't always want to admit it. It's why he insisted on fighting Stipe Miocic in his first and only heavyweight title defense. He wanted to add Miocic's name to his résumé so he could say he beat the best in two weight classes. He was just hoping we wouldn't notice that the version of Miocic he beat was on the wrong side of 40 and mostly retired already. That's the other thing about how Jones views legacy, though. He's always seemed to think that it was up to him to decide what we thought of him. Because that's all legacy is, at the end of the day. It's what the majority of the people tell each other about who you were and what you did. Jones has, from the very beginning of his career, looked at it as a public relations challenge he could shape at his whim. It's why he tried to portray himself as the polite, humble choir boy at first. That didn't hold up long. He crashed too many cars and showed up on too many police bodycams for that image to endure even the slightest scrutiny. Later he rebranded as the reformed bad boy who had grown through suffering, becoming a better person after all the trials and tribulations (that he put himself through). The fact that his retirement announcement was immediately overshadowed by news of yet another charge for vehicular misbehavior, this one involving an intoxicated woman found "lacking clothing from the waist down" in a crashed car that she said Jones was driving before he ran off and left her there? Well, it doesn't exactly scream: Here's a guy who's learned his lesson. Jon Jones with his longtime fiancée Jessie Moses after his victory over Stipe Miocic. (KENA BETANCUR via Getty Images) Jones wants to tell us who he is and how we should view his time in this sport. But that decision isn't up to him. Fans can be forgiving with the benefit of time, but they also have long memories for things like disappointment and anger. Jones has disappointed them plenty, both in and out of the cage. He's also thrilled them at times, showing them what it would look like if one fighter were miles ahead of the pack. Advertisement The single most consistent part of Jones' story was that he always remained the greatest threat to his own ambitions and the only limit on his own ability. No one could stop him in the cage. Outside of it, he couldn't stop himself from lighting it all on fire, then begging for mercy and swearing to be better from now on, then doing it again. He was our spoiled genius, a petulant boy king who kept threatening to finally grow up but never really did. He also might have been the greatest fighter this sport has ever known, but he couldn't ever stay focused on that goal long enough to keep showing up in ways that would have removed all doubt. That, along with everything else, will be one of the things we'll have to say when we look back on Jones' career. He could have done more. He probably should have done more. He lost or squandered years of his prime, then rode off into the Thai sunset on the back of a moped when faced with the (literally) biggest challenge available. That page, too, gets stapled onto his permanent record whether he likes it or not. He was our spoiled genius, a petulant boy king who kept threatening to finally grow up but never really did. Is this really the last we see of Jones in the UFC? I kind of doubt it. I think once he sees how quickly the sport and the heavyweight division moves on without him — and once he sees what life is like as a former UFC champ — he'll want back in. I'd be surprised if, by this time next year, he's still as retired as he claims. Advertisement But if it is the end, his legacy won't be a simple one. And it won't be one that he alone gets to dictate. Jones' story is about greatness, but it's also about the price of it. Here was a man who was so good and gifted at this one specific thing that he almost couldn't help but take it for granted. He treated his peerless career like it was a toy he could dangle out the window of a moving car, just for the thrill of seeing how close he could come to losing it entirely. We watched in awe of the fighter, then shook our heads in weary dismay at the man. We end (or so we're told) by repeating that pattern. There goes Jon Jones, maybe the greatest of all time. But also maybe not. We're sad to see him go with business left unfinished. But also maybe we're not.

Johnny Depp Says ‘I Was a Crash Test Dummy for #MeToo' and ‘I Didn't Feel Nervous' Facing Off Against Amber Heard in Court: ‘I'll Fight Until the Bitter F—ing End'
Johnny Depp called himself a 'crash test dummy for #MeToo' in a sprawling new interview with The Sunday Times as he sets out to promote the U.K. theatrical release of his latest directorial effort, 'Modi: Three Days on the Wing of Madness.' Depp was referring to the allegations first leveled at him in 2016 by ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of domestic violence when she filed for divorce. Heard's allegations notably fed into two trials that garnered global attention. Depp brought a libel lawsuit against The Sun in 2018 after the publication referred to him as a 'wife beater.' The trial kicked off in summer 2020 and ended with the court determining that the characterization of Depp as a 'wife beater' was 'substantially true.' Later in the year, Depp exited Warner Bros.' 'Fantastic Beasts' franchise after saying the studio asked him to resign from the role in the aftermath of the trial. More from Variety How France's #MeToo Movement Is Transforming Cannes and the Country's Film Industry: 'The Conditions Under Which Work Is Produced Matter' Johnny Depp Returns to Hollywood as 'Day Drinker' Starts Filming; Lionsgate Drops First Look at Thriller Co-Starring Penélope Cruz and Madelyn Cline Corey Feldman Claims Johnny Depp Got Him Out of 'What's Eating Gilbert Grape': 'He Said I Was a Junkie and He Didn't Work With Junkies' A second and even more highly-publicized trial took place in the U.S. in 2022 after Depp sued Heard in 2019 for defamation over an op-ed she wrote in The Washington Post in which she referred to herself as 'a figure representing domestic abuse.' The 2022 trial was live-streamed on YouTube and became an online sensation. The jury ultimately ruled that Heard did defame Depp in the op-ed, while also ruling Depp defamed Heard in the course of fighting back against her charges. Over the course of the trial, shocking details about Depp and Heard's personal lives were revealed. 'Look, it had gone far enough,' Depp told The Sunday Times about the viral 2022 trial. 'I knew I'd have to semi-eviscerate myself. Everyone was saying, 'It'll go away!' But I can't trust that. What will go away? The fiction pawned around the fucking globe? No it won't. If I don't try to represent the truth it will be like I've actually committed the acts I am accused of. And my kids will have to live with it. Their kids. Kids that I've met in hospitals. So the night before the trial in Virginia I didn't feel nervous. If you don't have to memorize lines, if you're just speaking the truth? Roll the dice.' Depp said he survived 'all the hit pieces, the bullshit' that accompanied the trial, adding: 'Look, none of this was going be easy, but I didn't care. I thought, 'I'll fight until the bitter fucking end.' And if I end up pumping gas? That's all right. I've done that before.' A few years after the end of the U.S. trial, Depp is now getting the chance to come back to Hollywood by starring opposite 'Blow' co-star Penelope Cruz in the Lionsgate action comedy 'Day Drinker.' He told the Times about his life: 'I have no regrets about anything — because, truly, what can we do about last week's dinner? Not a fucking thing.' 'Day Drinker' is scheduled to release in theaters sometime in 2026.

UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich arrested again, held without bond
Just weeks after he cut a probation deal following a 2023 DWI arrest, and not long after a 30-day jail sentence, UFC Hall of Famer Pat Miletich has been arrested again. Miletich was booked into the Scott County (Iowa) jail Friday and is being held there, currently without bond, for his third operating while intoxicated offense – a felony. In April, the 59-year-old Miletich pleaded guilty to a DWI charge from September 2023 and was given two years probation. Miletich also was ordered to complete a drunk driving education course. In March, Miletich had another incident while driving with a revoked license and pled not guilty. That case still is pending. In 2021, after his involvement in the Jan. 6 insurrection attempt at the U.S. Capitol, the LFA fired him from its broadcast team. His involvement in MMA since then has been minimal – though he did take a politically charged fight against Mike Jackson in 2023. For that fight, he arrived at the press conference just hours after the arrest for which he just made the probation deal. He lost that fight when he didn't answer the bell in the third round. Miletich first became known for becoming UFC welterweight champion and his Miletich Fighting Systems gym in Iowa that produced several UFC champions. But in recent years, the narrative around him shifted to focus on his right-wing conspiracy theory stances online and his multiple DUIs and regular run-ins with the law, typically involving intoxication allegations while driving.
