Conor McGregor said Dee Devlin will be his wife soon as he was spotted wearing a ring on his wedding ring finger in Rome. The Dubliner was speaking at a press conference for the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, which he co-owns.
The 36-year-old says he has been on a ‘spiritual journey’ and claimed that he has been ‘saved’ and ‘healed’. McGregor has been engaged to his long-time partner since August 2020.
Devlin has stood by McGregor throughout his numerous controversies, inside and outside the octagon, and his court battles. The UFC star, who has not fought in over four years, lost his attempt to overturn a civil case loss in July after he was ordered to pay Nikita Hand €250,000.
“I am not here just by chance. There is a higher power, God, that dictates my journey and all of our journeys,” McGregor said at Thursday’s press conference.
“I live my life by God’s word, since around the last time you mentioned at the last event, I have engaged on a spiritual journey. I am saved. I am healed.
“On the back of that, the world is in for a treat. My competitive spark that was once in my heart is now a roaring blaze.
“I’m eager. Right now I have to dial myself in and go inward, and that I’ve done, and now I’m in a stage where I come back and show what I’m about.
“Now I’m here with my own family, my beautiful children, my fiancée, wife-to-be soon.”

Devlin publicly backed McGregor following last year’s civil case. She wrote on Instagram at the time: “My man and I have created a beautiful life together. No one is entitled to comment on our relationship- we trust one another and love one another.
“Nothing or nobody will change that. Our family stands strong.”
McGregor is preparing to return to the UFC next summer for the promotion’s historic White House event. It is being staged as part of a series of events to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States.
It was revealed earlier this month that McGregor is currently serving an 18-month ban for violating the UFC’s Anti-Doping Policy. He missed three biological sample collections in a 12-month period.
The ban came into effect on September 20, 2024, and ends on March 20, 2026, meaning he would be able to fight on the White House card.
“We’re not even looking at the White House card until February,” UFC president Dana White said when asked recently about the possibility of McGregor fighting on the White House card.
“We have literally not talked about one fight on the White House card yet. We won’t even start until February. And then, whether he’s [Conor McGregor] available or not.”
