Conor McGregor's fiancee was spotted stroking the UFC star's chest as the couple watched Jon Jones become heavyweight champion last night.
McGregor was cageside at UFC 285 in Las Vegas as Jones choked out Ciryl Gane inside three minutes to be crowned a two-weight champion. The Irishman was filming scenes for his Hollywood debut in Roadhouse alongside Jake Gyllenhaal and UFC cameras filmed McGregor's fiancee Dee Devlin stroking her partner's chest.
And fans were quick to point out her actions with one labelling them "cringe". Another fan didn't even know who Dee was, writing: "Who’s the girl rubbing him on the chest?" while another asked simply, "What's the deal with the chest rub?" and yet another posed a similar question: "Why is his wife rubbing his chest?"
McGregor has been in Las Vegas to film the next serious of The Ultimate Fighter which will see the former two-weight world champion pit himself against Michael Chandler with both fighters coaching teams of hopefuls looking to win a UFC contract.
McGregor and Chandler will then clash in the cage later this year in what will be the Dubliner's first fight for over two years. He has not stepped into the octagon since he was beaten by Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight in 2021 and has spent the last 19 months recovering from his broken leg.

And UFC president Dana White revealed that McGregor and Chandlers' relationship deteriorated last week. “Chandler and Conor were very respectful to each other and then some things started escalating that you’ll see on the show," he said. "They do not like each other now, a lot of s*** went down on Friday. I don’t look at stuff that’s good for the show or things like that. Whatever happens, happens.
“The stuff that just happened shouldn’t have happened and I’m getting old, boys. I’m getting old. I would’ve been in there sooner back in the old days but not good… There was a lot of s*** that went down on Friday.”
