The MMA fighter had been in Dubai with his fiancee Dee Devlin and their young family for the past few weeks since attending Tyson Fury’s fight with Francis Ngannou in Saudi Arabia on October 28.

Dee gave birth to the couple’s fourth child in Dubai last month, with McGregor attending a boxing event in the United Arab Emirates over the weekend.

But the former two-weight UFC champion, who has come under criticism over comments he has made online in recent weeks, has returned home for the festive season.

McGregor threw a “Proper 12 party” at his Black Forge Inn pub, who shared a photo of him arriving at the bar on social media, captioning it: “Now it’s a Proper Party.”

The Dubliner’s sister Erin, niece Taylor, and coach John Kavanagh were also in attendance at the event in Drimnagh.

McGregor posed for photos with a number of punters as those in attendance danced to tunes being played by DJ Karl Mac, who shared a snap with the fighter online, commenting on it: “The Mac’s 2 black belts at what we do. Good to see ya bro let’s rock.”

Sharing a snap with his sister Erin, McGregor wrote: “Bro and sis we don’t miss.”
