Dee Devlin calls Conor McGregor 'Daddy' in adoring Instagram post

Dee Devlin paid a glowing tribute to Conor McGregor in her latest social media post.

She shared a bunch of glamorous photos from their last few days and nights in Ibiza where they celebrated Conor's birthday in style.

She wrote: "Happy Birthday Daddy, I love you so much."

The longtime couple were joined by Conor's mam Margaret and sisters Erin and Aoife amongst others as he jetted loved ones into the party island before embarking on a few days of celebrations.

While there, they rubbed shoulders with Ibiza celeb Wayne Lineker. The brother of football legend Gary is known for having built up a nightlife empire over there as he owns one of its most famous clubs.

The UFC superstar was greeted with a red carpet-like entrance, meeting Lineker on arrival before security escorted him through the club.

He also spent plenty of time on his luxury Lamborghini yacht as he chilled out. However, the entire trip wasn't plain sailing as one moment where The Notorious lost his cool after an exchange with a fan went viral.

In the clip, someone throws their hat at him and it hits him in the chest.

McGregor isn't best pleased and stamps on the hat before mocking the fan for the admittedly annoying behaviour.

But overall he seems to have had a blast as he has shared 12 beaming posts on Instagram about the sunny Balearic island.

Who knows when and if he'll be back in the octagon but he had recently returned to full MMA training prior to this latest in a string of holidays so perhaps he might squeeze a comeback bout in before the end of the year.

The prevailing sentiment is that he intends on making welterweight his home rather than cutting back down to lightweight since he has bulked up more than ever since breaking his leg last July.

In one Twitter exchange with then lightweight king Charles Oliveira he suggested as such.

He commented: ”I’m not sure I wish to cut the weight. I am really enjoying being built like a refrigerator. I feel I want to fight at this size just to watch it back lol."

The Brazilian submission specialist has not lost since then but was stripped of the title after failing to make weight for his fight against Justin Gaethje.
