Firefighters are battling to put out a blaze at Conor McGregor<\/a>‘s pub in Dublin.<\/p>\n

The 37-year-old MMA star, who is from Dublin, bought The Black Forge Inn for around \u00a32million in 2019 and this is not the first time it has caught fire.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2022, thugs attacked the Irish pub with petrol<\/a> bombs just hours after the former UFC<\/a> world champion was there.<\/p>\n

On Friday morning, footage emerged of it on fire again, with bright flames and thick plumes of smoke seen billowing out of the entrance. <\/p>\n

Several firefighters descended on the pub, in Drimnagh Road in Crumlin, a southern suburb of the Irish capital as they battled to put the fire out. Garda officers were also called to the scene.<\/p>\n

MailOnline has contacted Dublin Fire Brigade, The Black Forge Inn and McGregor’s representatives for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

McGregor is often seen hosting celebrities at his Dublin boozer and American rapper 50 Cent celebrated his 50th birthday there ahead of his performance at Longitude Festival earlier this month.<\/p>\n

It also follows a tumultuous period for McGregor who has been embroiled in another scandal amid claims he has cheated on fianc\u00e9e Dee Devlin.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

McGregor was embroiled in controversy this month when he was photographed kissing a mystery brunette woman on a beach in Fort Lauderdale.<\/p>\n

With his partner Dee – whom he has been engaged to since 2020 – nowhere in sight, questions were raised about their relationship.<\/p>\n

Rapper Azealia Banks then added to the furore as she took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to accuse McGregor of sexual harassment.<\/p>\n

Last week, Ms Banks, 34, shared nude photos which purported to show McGregor, which she claimed he sent to her unprompted.<\/p>\n

Amid the storm, McGregor and Devlin have firmly brushed off the criticism by continuing to show their affections for one another, and put on a very cosy display in one outing.<\/p>\n

The couple have been enjoying time in Sardinia together to celebrate Conor’s 37th birthday – which was on July 14.<\/p>\n

But it is the latest embarrassment to hit the sportsman’s relationship with his partner Dee, who was ever-present by his side throughout his sexual assault court case last year.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Conor lost a civil case as jurors at the High Court in Dublin found him liable of raping Nikita Hand, 35, in a Dublin hotel on December 9, 2018, with the judge awarding Hand \u20ac250,000 in damages.<\/p>\n

But despite the verdict, Dee emphatically made it clear that she intended to back Conor – attacking Nikita in a series of posts on Instagram at the time.<\/p>\n

Their united display came after concerns when Conor was seen smooching a mystery brunette in full view of fellow beachgoers in Fort Lauderdale\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Azealia <\/p>\n

Azealia Banks set the internet ablaze after sharing alleged nude photos of Conor that she claims the disgraced star sent unprompted (pictured in 2022)\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the posts, she wrote: ‘Conor and I dealt with these issues privately many years ago, as should be done in a relationship and we have come out stronger than ever.<\/p>\n

‘We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are!’<\/p>\n

The pair have been together for 15 years and got engaged in August 2020 after Conor proposed while they were celebrating his birthday.<\/p>\n

The couple met as teenagers at a nightclub in 2008 and Dee has been a key player in the MMA star’s story, supporting him when he was jobless and focused on making it as a professional fighter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Firefighters are battling to put out a blaze at Conor McGregor‘s pub in Dublin.
