Amid Dating Rumors With NASCAR Star Chase Elliott, 20-Year-Old Heartthrob Olivia Dunne Recalls Conor McGregor’s Family’s Request at UFC Star’s Birthday Party – “They Were Asking Me To…”

Conor McGregor going full-on party mode is a very familiar sight to his fans. The Irishman often shares pictures of the same via his social media posts. Recently, he has started facing backlash over his partying habits, owing to the uncertainty around his return to fighting. However, that does not stop ‘The Notorious’ from having a good time. Therefore, it would be all the more surprising to learn that he missed out on his own birthday party.

US gymnastics star Olivia Dunne revealed during a recent podcast appearance that McGregor sat out his own birthday party once. Further, she revealed a bizarre request they jokingly made to her during the event. The 20-year-old attended the party but missed out on meeting the UFC star as he could not make it. So why did McGregor not attend his own birthday party?

Olivia Dunne reveals why Conor McGregor skipped his birthday party

Amid her dating rumors with NASCAR star Chase Elliott, Olivia Dunne recently made an appearance on the ‘Full Send Podcast’. Here she revealed how Conor McGregor skipped his own birthday party. She was one of the few in attendance for the small gathering in L.A. According to Dunne, Conor McGregor fractured his leg earlier that week and, therefore, could not attend the party organized by his surgeon.

The TikTok sensation said she attended the event with fellow LSU alum and Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow. Incidentally, the surgeon that operated on McGregor’s leg had taken care of Burrow’s knee injury in 2020.

“That was the week he broke his leg so he couldn’t come to his birthday dinner,” said Dunne, “But his family was awesome.” She added, “They were asking me to do flips on the beach. They were like joking but yeah, they were chill.”

McGregor broke his leg in the first round of his trilogy, against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 on July 10, 2021. The former champion’s 33rd birthday was on July 14, when he was recovering after the surgery on his broken leg.

Almost two years after the incident, ‘Mystic Mac’ seems to have made a full recovery but is nowhere near a UFC return.

Will McGregor return in 2023? Is it too late for him?

Conor McGregor’s UFC return is arguably the hottest topic in MMA at the moment. As the first step of his comeback, he appeared on season 31 of ‘The Ultimate Fighter’ opposite prospective opponent Michael Chandler. While the show is almost halfway through airing, there is still no news about his return fight.

The obscurity surrounding his USADA status is leading to speculations that he might not enter the octagon in 2023. Reportedly, the 34-year-old missed the deadline for his USADA enrollment for eligibility to compete in 2023.

In a few weeks, the UFC star will be 35. The leg injury took almost two years off of what many consider the prime age gap for lightweight stars. Do you think this tardiness in making his comeback will cost McGregor?
