Conor McGregor UFC news: Dee Devlin posts Father's Day message to Notorious

Dee Devlin shared stunning new family photos as a tribute to Conor McGregor on Father’s Day.

Dee took to Instagram to post the pictures of her and her family.

She posted a series of pictures to honour the MMA fighter with the caption: “Happy Father’s Day to the king of our castle.”

The gorgeous pictures showed Conor teaching his kids to box, swim and taking them out on bike rides.

Conor and Dee have two children, a son Conor Jnr, and a daughter Croia.

The couple had their first child Conor in May 2017 and Croia was born in January this year.

The Irish UFC star is currently training for a return to the octagon.

Meanwhile, UFC president Dana White has insisted that McGregor never turns down a fight and isn’t afraid to fight anyone.

The Notorious hasn’t fought since last October but according to White this does not mean he is ducking opponents.

He told BT Sport: “No, Conor hasn’t turned down anything. “Listen, Ali [Abdez-Aziz] can say whatever, Conor doesn’t turn down fights, period.”

The MMA fighter has been linked with a potential fight with Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone but McGregor supposedly refused to settle for a co-headlining slot.

McGregor, who lost to lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229, has since been called out by Justin Gaethje and his manager Ali Abdez-Aziz.

White said: “Conor has been one of the most stand up [guys], when things get crazy and most people pull out of fights, Conor McGregor stays in.

"McGregor isn’t afraid to fight anyone so that is absolutely false.”

White also believes that although McGregor won’t turn down a fight, he will be bide his time until key fights in the lightweight division play out.

He said: “Conor’s in a position where he’s sitting back right now, I think waiting to see how this whole thing plays out with all these guys but he should pop up soon.

“Yeah, I think we’ll see him this year.”
