Conor McGregor pays tribute to his partner and 'number 1' Dee Devlin as she shares Instagram post

Conor McGregor has paid tribute to Dee Devlin as he continues to prepare for his UFC return.

The Notorious is expected to get back inside the octagon this summer for the first time since suffering a horror leg break against Dustin Porier last July.

A return date and opponent has yet to be announced, but McGregor has expressed his desire to fight at welterweight and has been taunting the 175lbs champion Kamaru Usman online.

But he also commented on an Instagram post of his fiancee on Monday.

Dee shared a snap of herself sitting in a car, with McGregor commenting on it: "Straight out the fuckin lens baby! Number 1!"

The UFC star's two sisters, Erin and Aoife also commented on the snap, with the latter saying: "Stunning."

Meanwhile, Jake Paul has been backed to sign for the UFC and land a "money" fight with McGregor in the next two years.

The YouTube star has frequently called out McGregor to a boxing clash throughout his five-fight professional career, which includes crossover victories over Tyron Woodley and Ben Askren.

He recently offered UFC boss Dana White a one-fight deal to face McGregor in the octagon providing a review over fighter pay is conducted if he wins.

Former UFC heavyweight Brendan Schaub believes that the UFC should play ball with Paul's demands to sign with the promotion. “If I’m the UFC, hey man, this is happening regardless, why not get a piece of the pie?," Schaub said on the latest episode of The Schaub Show.

"Why not get involved in this piece of the pie? That pie is getting made whether it’s in a year from now or two years, that pie is in the oven dude,” Schaub said about a fight Jake and Conor.

“I don’t know what the hesitation is. I would say that Jake Paul is more suited to compete in the UFC than f****** CM Punk. He has professional fights. Again, UFC, Conor is going to make all the money in the world, Jake is going to make all the money in the world. It's happening, play ball with this kid. I know you don’t like him or whatever, but play ball with him.”
