Although it may be fair to say that things might not be going all too well for Israel Adesanya with two losses back to back, one cannot take away his right to be considered the greatest middleweight champion in the history of the UFC. His professional life is sorted, but what about his personal life? Well, Izzy claims “that ship sailed” in the past. However, the former 2-time champion does take inspiration from Conor McGregor and his fiancee, Dee Devlin.

Mystic Mac and his antics have always been the most talked about things about the Irishman, which has been summed up perfectly by his moniker, ‘The Notorious’. But what people don’t seem to focus too much is that he’s always maintained his relationship with Dee Devlin, who’s always been a supportive partner to her husband. Their relationship seems to be something that is a matter of admiration for Israel Adesanya.

“When I look at someone like, say, even Conor with Dee Devlin. That’s f***ing cool. I love that. She’s still with him to this day. They go how many kids together? That’s cool,” Israel Adesanya told Joe Rogan on the recent ‘JRE MMA Show‘. Claiming that Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin’s relationship is “rare,” the former middleweight champion lauded the Irishman’s partner for showing the faith in ‘The Notorious’ that she has had all these years.

“Regardless of what the state of their relationship is now, it’s like, look, she was with him when he was no one and she believed in him. That kind of stuff is rare these days. When I see it in other people, I’m just like, they still in love in the air, Joe,” ‘Izzy’ added. It appears that the observations made by Israel Adesanya regarding Dee Devlin are true. Conor McGregor has, in a past interview, also spoken about how Devlin has been a great influence on him.

Conor McGregor once praised Dee Devlin years before Israel Adesanya’s praise for his fiancee

During an interview in 2019, Conor McGregor gushed when asked about his then-girlfriend and now-fiancee, Dee Devlin. Calling her his “queen,” the Irishman praised her not only for her looks but also for being an essential part of his journey to becoming the biggest MMA attraction in the history of the sport. “My lady, my queen is right here with me in the flesh. My lady, my queen is right here with me in the flesh. If you want to have a look at her, she’s a beautiful woman. She’s a stunning Irishwoman. She has been everything for me on this journey, and she still is,” McGregor stated.

McGregor even brought up an old saying that claims that a man’s success can be credited to the support of his significant other and claims to be in a great spot with his children and Dee Devlin by his side. “The mother of my two beautiful children. I am blessed. We’ve been on this journey from the very start, many many years ago, 12 years,” McGregor added.

Conor McGregor has been very open about his relationship with Dee Devlin. This is evident from the many social media posts he shares of his fiancee. By the looks of those posts, things seem to be going pretty well in the McGregor household.
