Conor McGregor is one of the few warriors in the world of mixed martial arts who quickly rose through the ladders to success. However, for the former UFC double champion, it was all because of his girlfriend, Dee Devlin. Arguably one of MMA’s most celebrated love affairs, the two began dating back in 2008 and have been together ever since.

Without wasting a single moment, ‘Mystic Mac’ gave the entire credit for his success to Devlin. He claimed that she was there for him when he had nothing. As his ventures skyrocket through the realms of success, he has nobody but Devlin to thank.

Finally, he revealed that she was the one who kept him going forward.
McGregor said, “My girlfriend worked very, very hard. And throughout the years, coming up, and stuck by me when, essentially, I had absolutely nothing. I only had a dream that I was telling her. If it wasn’t for her, I probably wouldn’t be where I am today, so definitely I love to spoil her.”
“She does not work anymore. So, for me to be able to take her out of work, and give her everything she’s ever wanted, and to travel the world with her, that fills me with pride, so, it keeps me going.”
