Conor McGregor has proved to the entire world that one doesn’t have to be an American or a Brazilian to reach the top. The young man was one of the few fighters from Ireland to fight in the UFC. Despite this fact, he still achieved the impossible by knocking out Jose Aldo in just 13 seconds and winning the title.
He has contributed to two of the most lucrative pay-per-views for the UFC. Now rumours are surfacing online that ‘The Notorious one’ wants to take a break.
Recently UFC President Dana White revealed that McGregor is dealing with some personal issues and hence may possibly choose to hang up his gloves for a short while. For this very reason, McGregor was given a final match at UFC 205 to make history.

Soon after White’s revelation regarding McGregor’s personal problems, rumours began to circulate about his longtime girlfriend Dee Devlin being pregnant as being the reason for the break.
On the contrary, some rumours point towards a possible break-up between the two. Fans definitely wouldn’t want to see the pair break after such a long relationship that they have maintained for the last 8 years, aiding each other in their struggles.
To top it all, there is another rumour that suggests that the two are engaged and about to get married. McGregor in the past has credited Devlin several times for being the woman behind his success. Nobody besides the McGregor family, close friends and the UFC know the truth
It can only be speculated which of these rumours actually turn out to be true in the end, at this point.
McGregor will fight Eddie Alvarez for the UFC Lightweight Championship at the first ever UFC event to be hosted in New York.
