Conor McGregor knows how to command attention. Whether it’s inside the cage or outside of it, the Irishman has a knack for stealing the spotlight. But this time, it wasn’t a knockout punch or a wild statement that had people talking. Instead, McGregor found himself in a rather awkward situation at the BKFC event in Spain—and fans couldn’t stop laughing!
In a video shared on X, McGregor can be seen enjoying himself at a party. What happened next? ‘The Notorious’ suddenly grabs the hair of a woman in front of him before showing off some dance moves. It may have been meant as a joke, but it didn’t exactly land well. The confusion on the woman’s face was evident as she moved away but someone else stepped in.

Conor McGregor’s long-time partner, Dee Devlin walked into the frame.

The moment went viral quickly, as fans couldn’t help but poke fun at McGregor’s apparent lapse in judgment.

Others reiterated the fact that Devlin didn’t look too pleased with the ‘The Notorious’s antics. While the relationship between the two has often been the source of much speculation in the MMA Sphere due to McGregor’s partying, the couple often proclaim their love for one another on social media. Earlier this year, in a post on Instagram for Dee Devlin’s birthday, McGregor had commented, “…baby anything! and I mean absolutely f— anything! For you. Anytime anywhere in the world. Done. ”

But the internet wasn’t done with him yet. Fans kept adding fuel to the fire, claiming that both the woman who had her hair pulled and Devlin weren’t too keen on the apparent ‘joke’ by Conor McGregor.
“Chick looked annoyed at having her hair pulled. Dee as well”
The jabs didn’t stop there as the Irishman’s behavior outside the Octagon sparked a debate about whether the former double champ still has what it takes to return to the top of MMA. McGregor has been out of action since 2021 since suffering from a brutal leg fracture. But at the recent BKFC event, ‘The Notorious’ made a bold claim as he confirmed that his return will now happen on, “February first, Saudi Arabia,” His opponent? McGregor hinted that it might be Dan Hooker!
