For Conor McGregor, family is the cornerstone of his meteoric rise. His ‘forever love’ supported him as a struggling fighter, and helped him have a roof when he quit as a plumber. ‘The Notorious One’ has since honored his part of the promise and 20 years later, the couple is still flourishing with ‘Mystic Mac’ etching his name as an all-time MMA great, a feat that hasn’t been displayed in the past 3 years.

The duo has been vocal in expressing their love and appreciation in public. Devlin has previously gone online to call her husband her “one and only forever” while also acknowledging his role as a great father. She took to Instagram and wrote, “The best daddy! We love you so much” as the couple welcomed their newest born in December 2023.

Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin: Soulmates in and Out of the Octagon

In a recent live-stream with Duelbits hosted on Kick, Conor McGregor was also asked about his family. He stated with sincerity, “Family’s doing amazing! Got the kids into Jiu-Jitsu, and got them into football. They’re training and I am very happy, very pleased! I’m working so hard for my children and my family! That’s the truth! That’s all I am f***in working for.”

McGregor and Devlin have four kids together – their eldest son Conor Jr., daughter Croia Maria, third son Rian, and their youngest Mack McGregor. The couple got engaged back in 2020, but are yet to announce a date for their wedding. But that does not stop them from expressing their love for the other.

Back in 2016, McGregor told MMA Fighting about Devlin, “She has helped me throughout my career. If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. So definitely, I love to spoil her.” It is safe to say that his wife Dee Devlin and kids have been at the epicenter of his affection.

The gold and riches weren’t always a part of Conor’s life. While his family has always been with him, his latest venture in the form of a whiskey business ‘Proper No, Twelve’ has yielded him massive profit. Adding this to the fact that he has been a perennial cash cow for any UFC card, and the spectacle attached to his name has not faded one bit, the larger question about his Octagon return still remains. When will his desperate times in the combat sphere end?

Will ‘The Notorious One’ Finally Step Into the Octagon in 2o25?

It has been 3 years since McGregor’s freak accident in the Octagon against Dustin ‘The Diamond’ Poirier at UFC 264. Since then, fight fans have been eagerly waiting for Conor vs ‘Iron’ Michael Chandler ever since ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ was announced. While discussing the grand spectacle of UFC ‘Sphere’, Head honcho Dana White confirmed McGregor’s intent to return to the center stage in 2025.

McGregor has previously disclosed that he has two fights left on his current contract. Recently speaking to DAZN boxing reporter Ariel Helwani, McGregor reiterated his intent. He stated, “I must, I must, I must. It’s the promised lands, so we’ll see.”

Conor McGregor was scheduled to face Michael Chandler in a welterweight bout at UFC 303 in June but the anticipated clash was called off when McGregor broke his toe in training. ‘Iron’ looks onto his rematch against Charles Oliveira at UFC 309 in November while McGregor’s future still hangs in mystery.

Ireland’s finest has surely embraced the role of a devoted family man but will we witness the grand return of ‘The Notorious One’ anytime soon? What are your views? Drop your comments below.
