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.

Former Love Island winner Jess Harding hits out at 'b**chy' 2025 contestant
Jess Harding, who won ITV's Love Island back in 2023, has shared her thoughts on current contestant Antonia 'Toni' Laites - who has been causing drama in the villa Former Love Island winner Jess Harding has lashed out at one of the current contestants in a scathing social media post. The 2025 season of ITV's long-running reality dating show began earlier this month and 16 contestants are currently housed in the villa. But tensions have been bubbling between some of the contestants and 24-year-olds Antonia 'Toni' Laites and Emily Moran have clashed while taking part in the show. Viewers were startled to see Toni accuse Emily of sticking her nose in her business during a fiery exchange that aired on Friday night. Jess, 24 - who won Love Island in 2023 alongside then-boyfriend Sammy Root, 24 - was among those watching at home to take to social media to dissect the unsettling scenes. The reality star shared her shock at Toni's outburst against Emily. Siding with the British star, Jess accused American bombshell Toni of being "b**chy". In a message shared via Instagram stories, the star wrote: "Ok what the hell, just because someone isn't your cup of tea doesn't mean you can cause a big drama over it?!" Jess continued: "Toni girl I loved you but I don't like b****y behaviour & pulling crying behaviour." And she added: "Why can't the girls be 1 big group cos these men be acting CRAZY." On Friday night, fans saw tension escalate between Toni and Emily as the 2025 season endured one of its most dramatic arguments so far. Friction came to a head after the two ladies took a near instant dislike to each other after Emily entered the villa as a bombshell on day five. Toni's feather's were ruffled when she overheard a conversation between Emily and Irish contestant Conor Phillips, 25. The American bombshell then found a confidant in Shakira Khan, 22, who she shared her frustrations with. But Emily later accused Toni of talking behind her back, while fellow Islander Megan 'Meg' Moore, 25, warned Emily that Toni had branded her "nosey" and "Little Miss Sunshine." An almighty row erupted, with Emily despairing that Toni was "just trying to cause a problem," and "she's f****g nuts." All the drama could be helping generate interest in the long-running show, however. While the 2025 season got off to a low viewership start when it launched on 9 June, the audience then reportedly grew by 1.7 million streams on ITVX after the first episode aired. Some past contestants have started campaigning for the series to be axed, however, and the show has a long history of being tied to the tragic mental health declines of past contestants. This weekend, Malin Andersson, who starred on the show in 2016, voiced her concerns about the way the series is made. She told The Mirror: "It should be axed. When I was on it, we were naive, it felt more organic – still scripted but more authentic. Even then, it wasn't pure, it was full of toxicity. Now millions watch it, especially young people, and their idea of love gets completely skewed." She added: "I felt disposable, like a piece of rubbish tossed aside. In there, you're fighting to be seen, to be a main character, seeking validation. It's not healthy – it creates unrealistic drama and messes up how viewers see love." Love Island has come under fire in the past for failing to support contestant that take part in the series - however, strict after care rules were introduced in 2019 after the deaths of former contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis.

Loose Women star expecting third grandchild as daughter announces pregnancy
Coleen Nolan's daughter, Ciara Fensome, is expecting her first child. The first time mum-to-be took to Instagram on Saturday (June 21) to share a stunning photo of herself cradling her growing bump. She also posted a picture of herself and fiancé Maxx Innes proudly displaying their baby scan in a photo booth. Ciara, 24, captioned her post: "One of me is cute but two tho? Baby Innes pending.." Coleen Nolan's Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford was quick to leave a congratulatory message, writing: "WONDERFUL! Congratulations!" Former panelist Saira Khan chimed in with: "Wow! ! Congratulations" alongside a red heart emoji. Another comment read: "Omg massive congrats to you both! ! You two are gonna be the best parents, while another well-wisher added: "OMG, massive congratulations to you both! !". Later, Ciara updated her Instagram Story to tell her 17,300 followers that she can "finally" start posting her holiday photos following her announcement. She's currently on holiday in Faliraki with her mum, who has been sharing updates from their trip on social media. This joyous news comes just over a year after Ciara got engaged to Maxx. In April 2025, a thrilled Coleen shared a photo of Ciara and her fiancé in a romantic pose, confirming her daughter was officially off the market. "Well, what can I say....I'm so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful daughter @ciarafensome to marry him," Coleen wrote at the time. "I love them both soooo much. Miss them even more! Can't wait to see them. Off to buy a hat x," she wrote, ending her post with a crying laughing emoji. Coleen's post was met with a flurry of congratulations from her celebrity friends. "Congratulations @ciarafensome," Loose Women co-star Denise Welch penned. Charlene White quickly chimed in with "congrats! ! !" and Kelle Bryan added, "Such lovely news." Despite divorcing Ciara's father Ray in 2018, Coleen, who also shares two sons with ex Shane Richie, has maintained a close friendship with him. The ITV star, who has yet to comment on the baby news, is already a grandmother to two children. In 2016, her eldest son Shane Jr welcomed a daughter named Amelia. Then, in November 2024, her son Jake became a father to a little boy.

Beauty and the Geek star forced to deny she is involved in grisly murder case
Beauty and the Geek star, Kiera Johnstone, has taken to social media, refuting allegations she is involved in a murder case, which was reported in Australia last week The winner of dating show, Beauty and the Geek, has vehemently denied her involvement in a grisly murder in New South Wales, Australia. Kiera Johnstone, 26, who appeared on the Australian version of the series in 2021, insisted she has nothing to do with the shocking case after reports surfaced on Friday that a woman who starred in the reality TV show had been charged with a murder in Port Lincoln. A man's body was discovered in a home in the coastal town in Australia after emergency services were called to a property at about 3:25pm local time on Thursday following reports of a small fire. When crews arrived, they found a man dead inside the residence. A 34-year-old woman was arrested at the scene and later charged with murder. A suppression order preventing the publication of any information that could identify the woman, the victim, or the specific details surrounding the man's death was issued. However, after the news broke, speculation surfaced online attempting to link Keira with allegations stemming from the police report. Telling her followers there were rumours she had been involved in the murder for "reasons beyond my understanding", the reality star took to her Instagram Stories today. Insisting she wanted to be "absolutely clear", Keira said: "Hi everyone. A former contestant from Beauty and the Geek has been charged with a very serious crime. "Although no names have been released, for reasons beyond my understanding, there has been speculation online suggesting that I am involved. "Let me be absolutely clear: I am not involved in any way. I have not been charged with a crime. I have literally never even had a parking fine. The allegations being discussed have nothing to with me, and the fact that I even need to says this is incredibly upsetting. "It's deeply disturbing to see people spreading false information, making assumptions and sharing screenshots. I understand the internet can be quick to judge, but this kind of speculation is damaging and invasive and is something I take very seriously." Asking anyone 'fuelling the gossip' to "please stop", she continued: "If you are part of the group fuelling this - sharing, gossiping or silently watching - I ask you to please stop. "This is not entertainment. This is a serious situation, that involves real victims. you're literally sick if you think this is at all funny. "As this has nothing to do with me, this will be the only time I speak on the matter. Thank you to those who reached out with kindness and common sense." It comes after The Courier Mail reported on Friday that the woman arrested for the alleged murder was once a contestant on reality show Beauty and the Geek. South Australia Police have confirmed the victim and the accused knew each other and had been in a relationship. The woman was refused police bail and remains in custody. Assistant Commissioner Parrott said a cause of death had not yet been established and no further details could be released, as the victim's family had not yet been notified. The woman did not apply for bail and has been detained under the Mental Health Act. She is expected to return to court in December. The suppression order regarding the accused's identity is set to be reviewed by the court next week.
