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.

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.
