Conor McGregor reportedly talked in a taxi with the man he allegedly punched in a Dublin pub.
The UFC star was filmed appearing to hit a man in the Marble Arch boozer in April after he rejected a shot of his whiskey.
McGregor was dragged away by his minders and will reportedly be charged for the attack.
But it has been reported that the Irishman later climbed out of his Land Rover and into a taxi to meet the alleged victim.
"It's anyone’s guess what was discussed in the taxi, perhaps McGregor was trying to apologise for the incident," a source told The Irish Sun.
"The man was just in the pub for a quiet drink and after the incident he calmly finished his pint and got into the taxi.
"Gardai had to look into the meeting because it formed part of the overall investigation."
On Sunday, we reported that the 50-year-old man was "left shaken" by the incident.
Speaking to the Irish Sunday Mirror, his pal said: “He was sitting having a few pints and minding his own business.
"He was having his pint when McGregor came in and offered everyone a drink of his whiskey.
"A few had it but this man doesn’t drink shorts at all.
"However, Conor insisted he take it and when he refused a second time McGregor wasn't impressed.
"Next thing he punched him in the side of the face. He didn’t feel the pain of it at the time but the next day he was in bits. It was a proper hard hit.
"His face was very sore. He was very shaken by the whole thing and didn't leave his house for days.
"At the end of the day he doesn’t want an apology or any money, he just wants justice for what happened to him.
"He didn’t even realise McGregor was in the pub until he was standing up beside him.
"Everyone in the pub was shocked by what had happened and couldn't believe it."
The incident is still being investigated by Gardai.
