Conor McGregor's partner Dee Devlin celebrates nephew's christening at UFC star's pub

Dee Devlin celebrated her nephew's christening at the pub of her partner Conor McGregor over the Easter weekend.

The UFC star's fiancee was all smiles as she posed for a photo alongside her sisters Cathy and Sarah.

They were celebrating the christening of Cathy's son Brody Jack Sargent, who was born last December.

Sharing a picture on Instagram, Cathy said: "Sisters aka Friends for Life."

McGregor was among those to comment on the snap as he simply posted a love eyes and heart emojis.

Cathy described the day as " a special day for our special little boy".

McGregor also shared a picture of the three sisters on his own Instagram account over the weekend.

Commenting on the post, he said: "Happy Easter sessions everyone! Remember to praise above. Thank you Jesus, thank you for coming back and saving us. Thank you God."

The former two-weight champion continues to prepare for his UFC return after suffering a horror leg break against Dustin Poirier last summer.

Meanwhile, Leon Edwards has reportedly been offered his show and win money to step aside and allow a fight between Kamaru Usman and McGregor, who wants to fight for the welterweight belt on his return to action.

According to MMA analyst Chael Sonnen, a step aside offer has been made to Edwards to allow a fight between Usman and McGregor to be made.

"I am being told that Leon has been offered his show and his win [money], whatever was negotiated for Leon to fight Kamaru is being offered to him," Sonnen said on his YouTube channel.

"'We will mail you a cheque to step aside. We have the right to push you aside, we don’t want any hard feelings and we acknowledge that you deserve this. So, we are going to send you what you agreed on and you get to stay home.’ With the belief being that Conor’s going to step in.

"I don't believe this rumour by the way, I'm just sharing with you anytime you don't have something locked up... Leon [vs Kamaru] is not done. There are some real moving parts there, quite frankly I don't know if we are going to see Kamaru Usman fight in two years from now."
