Conor McGregor and Dee Devlin in rare public sighting at Longtitude festival in Dublin

Conor McGregor enjoyed a day in the sun at Longtitude festival with girlfriend Dee Devlin this weekend.

The Irishman is still training for a return to the UFC , but took some time off to watch a variety of acts including music megastar Cardi B play at the Longtitude main stage with Devlin and a group of friends.

In videos posted to Instagram, McGregor can be seen shadow boxing with pal Gerry Vegas, who he supported in his MMA debut in Dublin earlier this year.

And there is also footage of The Notorious with his arm around Dee Devlin in one of their rare public appearances since welcoming second child Croia earlier this year.

He is seen holding a bottle of his whiskey 'Proper 12' while overlooking the massive crowd in front of the main stage at Marlay Park.

He also posed for photos with music managers Shane Gillen and Greg O'Donoghue, whose agency 'Big and Bright Ltd' represents Irish music acts such as Chasing Abbey, Josh Gray and Marty Guillfoyle.

Meanwhile, bookies have slashed the odds on him returning to the octagon before the end of the year.

Boylesports have cut their odds from 7/1 into 4/5 that the Notorious will fight in the UFC before the end of 2019.

The Crumlin native has been sporting a hand cast in recent weeks but his recent social media posts suggest that he is on the mend.

McGregor is on the comeback trail after losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov last October but it is 16/1 that he will get the chance to enact any revenge this year.

The odds compilers think it is more likely that the 30-year-old will compete in the WWE and team up with fellow Dubliner Becky Lynch.

Boylesports' Sarah Kinsella said:  Conor McGregor seems like he is getting back to himself following his hand injury that had him in a cast.

"Coach John Kavanagh revealed that McGregor saw a specialist to treat the injury predicting a return to the octagon before the year is out.

"This has forced us to cut the price of his UFC return into 4/5 from 7/1”.
