Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin’s journey began in the distant year of 2008, and now, they are joyfully anticipating the arrival of their fourth child. Their enduring bond and growing family exemplify the beautiful evolution of their relationship over the years.
The past ten years have been quite the successful journey for Conor McGregor.
The Dubliner made his UFC debut back in April 2013, beating Marcus Brimage in just 67 seconds to make a huge statement in his first fight with the promotion.
After further victories over Max Holloway, Diego Brandao, Dustin Poirier and Dennis Siver, McGregor found himself taking on Chad Mendes just over two years after his debut for the opportunity to be crowned the UFC’s interim featherweight champion.
The Notorious stopped the American inside two rounds and went on to end Jose Aldo’s 10-year undefeated run when he knocked him out in just 13 seconds.
His first defeat came to Nate Diaz in March 2016, but he avenged that loss just months later before becoming the two-weight champion before the end of the year by beating Eddie Alvarez.
That led to a crossover fight with Floyd Mayweather, which he lost, while he also suffered defeat in his 2018 grudge match with Khabib Nurmagomedov.
McGregor’s last success inside the octagon came in January 2020 just before the Covid-19 pandemic when he beat Donald Cerrone in Las Vegas, but he has not been seen in action since back-to-back defeats to Poirier in 2021.
Someone who has been in McGregor’s corner long before his days of fame is Dee Devlin, who is currently pregnant with the couple’s fourth child.
They met all the way back in 2008 when McGregor was only 19-years-old and dreaming of becoming a full-time MMA fighter.
They’ve come a long way since meeting in a Dublin nightclub and here’s a number of photos of them from over the years:
