Posting on Instagram, McGregor shared photos of himself on the sideline watching the game and also sponsored the local team’s jersey.

McGregor welcomed his firstborn back in 2017 and he and Devlin have four children together.

The Dubliner also made a surprise appearance at the 3Arena on Saturday evening and spoke publicly for the first time about withdrawing from UFC 303.

The UFC star conducted an in-ring interview as he opened up on his UFC 303 withdrawal.

“I’m still here rocking away. I had a little lapse in concentration and I had to reschedule the bout so I’m a little upset over that but it’s keeping me dialled in. It’s keeping me focused. I can’t rock around like I’m after showing up, like I’m doing my job, the job is not done,” he said.

“I’m onwards towards the new date and take my lessons learnt. It was a lapse in concentration and if I was any one of these little bums that can’t move and has no footwork and doesn’t rely on their skills then I would be okay.

“I’ve done it before, I’ve made the walk a multitude of times under those circumstances and given these bums an advantage over me that they don’t even deserve so now I’m dialling it in, I’m getting this training camp correct and I’m walking in there 100 percent Conor McGregor injury free, perfect is on the menu with me.”

McGregor was set to headline UFC 303 on June 29 but the date has not yet been rescheduled.
