Conor McGregor’s rise from humble beginnings in Ireland to being one of the most recognizable faces in combat sports is nothing short of a fairytale. Throughout the ups and downs, his fiancée Dee Devlin has been by his side as a steadfast supporter. The two met back in 2008, and in a 2015 interview, ‘The Notorious’ had shared that, “She has helped me throughout this career. If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today.”

But with McGregor’s enormous success, also comes an increased scrutiny by the fans. Earlier this year, the Irish MMA icon and Australian boxer, Ebanie Bridges’ relationship had raised many eyebrows. But amid the swirling controversy, Conor McGregor has proved that his love for his fiancée remains unwavering with a heartfelt message shared on social media to celebrate her special day!

Conor McGregor silences Ebanie Bridges controversy with emotional promise to Dee Devlin  

In a recent post on Instagram, Conor McGregor shared pictures of Dee Devlin and their kids celebrating her birthday. The caption for the post was a grand gesture of love from the Irishman for his partner who has stood by him through thick and thin as he wrote, “Happy birthday my baby @deedevlin1, I love you so much! The best day with our family celebrating you”

The post also drew a response from Devlin who gushed over McGregor’s grand celebration. Devlin responded by stating, “Thank you for setting up the best day for me babe!!! I loved every minute!!” And the Irish MMA icon affirmed the depth of his affection and promised that, “baby anything! and I mean absolutely f**king anything! For you. Anytime anywhere in the world. Done. ”

With the pictures of the McGregor family enjoying themselves on Devlin’s special day, the rumors surrounding the Irishman’s relationship with boxer Ebanie Bridges may have been laid to rest. In fact, in a past interview with InstantCasinos.com, Bridges had slammed the fans who were running wild with their speculation about her and McGregor.

An incensed Bridges fired back by stating, “Yeah, it’s f**king annoying [that I have to defend our friendship] because it’s so clear to me, maybe I’m either really smart or I just think it’s common sense.” The boxer and McGregor first met at Irish boxer Katie Taylor’s clash against Chantelle Cameron and since then Bridges has forged a working relationship with the Irishman’s Forged Irish Stout brand becoming her sponsor.

But while Conor McGregor is spending his time surrounded by his family and making Dee Devlin’s birthday a memorable one, fans have been left wondering, will they see him return to the Octagon anytime soon? Because ‘Iron’ has recently indicated that the long-awaited fight may not be taking place after all!

Michael Chandler claims ‘The Notorious’s career is “over”  

The fans have been itching to see Conor McGregor return to action ever since he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. While there was hope that the Irishman’s fight against Michael Chandler, originally scheduled for June 29 at UFC 303 would be ‘The Notorious’s comeback, all of it came crashing down with the Irishman’s toe injury that derailed the plans weeks out from the event.

Chandler, who has been waiting to fight McGregor since their appearance as coaches on TUF 31 has now seemingly given up on the prospect of the fight. Taking to X to share his thoughts, Chandler stated, “Nevermind guys…I think it’s time I finally admit the fight is off. He’s still in stage 2 of the 7 of grief pertaining to his career being over. Figured he’d be closer to 5 by now.”

As such, the future of McGregor vs Chandler still remains up in the air at the moment. While ‘The Notorious’ is enjoying spending time with his family, the question remains, will the MMA sphere finally get to witness his famed left hand in action once again? And will it be against ‘Iron Mike’ or someone else? Let us know what are your thoughts on the situation in the comments below!
