Ebanie Bridges has labelled Conor McGregor "lovely" and said the UFC star has always supported her boxing career.
World champion Bridges, 36, met UFC legend McGregor for the first time whilst they were at Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron's world title fight in Dublin last month. Bridges and McGregor posed for pictures and she later raised eyebrows by admitting she would have sex with the Irishman.
The Blonde Bomber' has now revealed the details of her ringside conversation with McGregor, as she told OnlyAccounts.io: "He’s lovely, me and Conor have been talking for a while. He’s always supported my career; I’ve talked to him online and he sends me messages before my fights and has invited me to Ireland a few times and is nice to have that support and friendship.
"Recently was obviously the first time I’d seen him in person and that was great after the conversations we’ve had online. He’s awesome and so effervescent and has that energy – when Conor walks in the room he lights it up and he’s very inspiring."

McGregor is set to make his UFC return against Michael Chandler in December, but the fight is seemingly in jeopardy as the Irishman's drug testing status is currently unknown. Chandler used McGregor's own catchphrase to call him out by saying: "There is 179 days left until December 16th which is supposed to be the last pay-per-view of the year. Comically, USADA shows up at my door today to add insult to injury. Where you at boy?"
Bridges, who currently holds the IBF women's bantamweight world title, has suggested that McGregor should start his own OnlyFans account. The subscription service is commonly used by fighters to earn a side income, with some even making more on the platform than they do in the ring.
"He might have some ideas of doing it," she added. "I do give a lot of people the idea though of joining OnlyFans – especially women as some people look down on it as a bad thing, but it’s not. It’s exclusive content from athletes and celebrities – it doesn’t need to be sex and porn as it’s not like that.
"I’m not a blogger or Instagram a lot by telling people all the time what I’m doing, but on my OnlyFans, I do. So all the fans know what I’m up to – at home or when out, plus behind the scenes. While it’s been good during the injury as a way to keep in touch with all my fans."
