Conor McGregor made Ireland the proudest nation in the world over the weekend after his mindblowing win against Jose Aldo, but no-one was more filled with pride than his devoted girlfriend Dee Devlin.
Conor stunned the world by knocking out the reigning featherweight champ in just 13 seconds at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
His long-term love Dee took to social media to praise her talented beau, who she has supported since the very beginning of his career.
“What an absolutely unbelievable night! I’m so proud to be part of this journey with you babe,” she wrote. “You are the true definition of a champion and nobody deserves it more!”
“Words can’t describe this!” she added.
The loved-up couple have been together for eight years, and Conor has always acknowledged Dee’s loyalty and unwavering support as he made his rise up the ranks of UFC.
When VIP met the pair in June 2013, the champ told us: “Every day since I started in this game, she’s supported me. She’d drive me to the gym, and she’d listen to all my dreams. I wouldn’t be doing this if it wasn’t for her. I’m doing all this for her.”
