Dee Devlin posts Valentine's Day message to Conor McGregor

Dee Devlin has posted a Valentine's Day message to Conor McGregor online.

She shared two photos with the UFC star, commenting: "My Valentine."

McGregor also shared a number of photos of Dee on Instagram.

He commented on them: "Happy Valentine’s Day my baby if they ever get me get revenge."

The couple have been enjoying some downtime in Dubai following McGregor's UFC 257 loss to Dustin Poirier last month.

They were recently pictured with celebrity chef 'Salt Bae' after visiting his restaurant for dinner.

Sharing the snap to her Instagram story, Devlin and McGregor looked delighted as they were pictured at  the Nusr-Et restaurant.

McGregor's defeat to American Poirier was his second in his last three fights in the UFC - but it was still another huge payday for the Crumlin man.

He now looks set to face Poirier for a third time later this year.

Speaking ahead of UFC 258, Dana White said: "They both want it.

"So when you’ve got two guys who want the trilogy as bad as those two do, we try to make it happen. It’ll happen this summer."

The Dubliner was once one of the most active fighters on the UFC roster and made history when he held the UFC lightweight and featherweight belts simultaneously.

But he appeared rusty in the loss to Poirier in Abu Dhabi and is intent on putting in an improved showing when they meet for the third time.

McGregor could still earn a rematch with bitter rival Khabib Nurmagomedov - if he wins the UFC's lightweight tournament.

White has said that he intends to match the top seven ranked UFC lightweights in the world until two 'finalists' emerge who would then clash for the belt.

Nurmagomedov announced his retirement following his victory over Justin Gaethje last October.

But he has neither vacated nor been stripped of the belt and remains in place as the champion.

And White can see a time when Nurmagomedov returns from retirement to face McGregor for a second time.

"He hates Conor McGregor so bad, the hate that these two have is as real as anything you've ever seen and I believe that if Conor came out of this thing and Conor was going to be the guy to win the title, I truly believe that he'd face Conor," he said.
