Irish fighter Conor McGregor is seen punching a person at Pacha, a club on the Spanish island of Ibiza, in footage obtained and shared by The Sun.
In the clip, Dublin native McGregor can be seen standing atop a sort of stage as he leans down, apparently saying something to someone in the crowd.
He then launches two punches at the person with his left hand while holding a drink with his right.
The person was knocked to the floor.
According to The Sun, the scrap unfolded at 5:53 am on Tuesday morning after McGregor had spent the night partying.

The Sun reports that after the dust-up, the man punched by McGregor was thrown out of the club, while McGregor was permitted to stay.
“Clearly something’s been said to annoy him and he’s reacted very badly," one person who was in the club at the time told The Sun.
“The guy seemed to fall to the floor, and his mates came to pick him up and get him away.
“There [didn't appear to be any] consequences for Conor, but the guy he punched was taken away and I didn’t see him again.”
Another club-goer told The Sun: "He had his arm around someone who looked like his mate.
"Someone came up to them, and when Conor hit him, about five people fell to the floor as the guy stumbled back.
"It was a bit like bowling pins, but the guy was really shaken by the hits.
"About a minute later, the bouncers came and got him on the back and took him out of the club, because he had annoyed Conor.
"It was right before close anyway. There was no messing around, they just removed him.
"Conor left through the garden a bit later, he didn't look very happy that they got into a fight."
The former UFC champion has not fought in the Octagon since July 2021, when he lost against Dustin Poirier.
The 36-year-old Dublin native has said in recent months that he will run for President of Ireland this year. However, the chances of him making it on the ballot are unlikely as he would need to be nominated by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas or at least four local authorities, support which he does not appear to have.
Meanwhile, McGregor is appealing a Dublin civil court's decision that he sexually assaulted Irish woman Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in 2018.
Elsewhere, he's facing a separate sexual assault lawsuit in Miami, Florida.
