Conor McGregor is the former two-division UFC champion who turns every after-party viral, even with his partner watching. Case in point: at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event in Spain in October 2024, McGregor, a co-owner of the promotion, was filmed dancing with BKFC women’s champion Britain Hart and playfully yanking her long braids. His longtime partner Dee Devlin quickly stepped in, and McGregor responded by laughing and tugging her hair too, as if to explain it was all a joke. Fans flooded social media insisting Dee looked far from impressed, while Hart later defended him, saying everyone was simply having fun. Moments like that are part of what makes McGregor the most talked-about figure in combat sports. Inside the octagon, he became a global phenomenon with explosive left-hand power and relentless confidence, knocking out José Aldo in 13 seconds to claim the featherweight title in 2015 before beating Eddie Alvarez in 2016 to become the first fighter to hold UFC belts in two weight classes at the same time. He crossed over into professional boxing against Floyd Mayweather in 2017 and headlined some of the biggest pay-per-view events in mixed martial arts history. Known for psychological warfare, trash talk and unforgettable press conferences, McGregor has never been far from controversy outside the cage. His long-awaited 2026 comeback finally arrived at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, where his welterweight fight with Max Holloway ended just 1:09 into the first round after a devastating knee injury, nearly five years after his previous fight. Through every high and low, Dee Devlin, the mother of his four children, has stayed by his side since 2008. Win, lose or after-party, McGregor continues to deliver spectacular moments, and on this night Dee was clearly keeping score.
Conor McGregor's night out at a Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship event in Spain in October 2024 has resurfaced after footage showed him dancing with BKFC women's champion Britain Hart, playfully pulling her long braids, and being met by his partner Dee Devlin.
McGregor, a co-owner of the BKFC promotion, was filmed with Hart before Devlin stepped in. He responded by laughing and tugging Devlin's hair too, as if to say it was all a joke. Fans flooded social media insisting Devlin looked far from impressed, while Hart later defended McGregor, saying everyone was simply having fun.
McGregor, 38, is the Irish former two-division UFC champion, now 22-7-0 and a southpaw out of SBG Ireland. He knocked out José Aldo in 13 seconds to win the featherweight title in 2015, then beat Eddie Alvarez in 2016 to become the first fighter to hold UFC belts in two weight classes at once. His career numbers show why the knockout power is so feared: 5.27 significant strikes landed per minute at 49 percent accuracy.
His recent run is a different story. His most recent recorded fight was a first-round KO/TKO loss to Max Holloway at UFC 329 on July 11, 2026, ending 1:09 into the opening round after a knee injury, his first bout in nearly five years. Before that, his two most recent recorded fights were losses to Dustin Poirier in 2021: a second-round KO/TKO at UFC 257 in January and a first-round doctor's stoppage at UFC 264 in July. That is three straight recorded defeats, all by stoppage.
Devlin, the mother of McGregor's four children, has been with him since 2008, through the title runs, the Mayweather boxing crossover in 2017 and the long layoff that followed.
Why it matters
- The clip shows McGregor's off-cage profile remains as high as ever, even as his in-cage results have stalled.
- His BKFC co-ownership keeps him a visible presence at events beyond the UFC.
- With three consecutive recorded stoppage losses, his public moments are drawing as much attention as his fighting future.
