Conor McGregor stuns local residents on holiday with Dee Devlin as he disrupts traffic

Conor McGregor has returned to Mallorca, one of his preferred holiday destinations, and it hasn't taken long for him to cause a stir.
The Crumlin-born former UFC champion has been out of the Octagon for almost four years, after his last bout, a Las Vegas trilogy clash with Dustin Poirier in July 2021, was stopped in the first round after McGregor broke his leg.
Rumours have swirled that a return may be on the horizon, but in the meantime, the 36-year-old has jetted off for some sun with his fiancée Dee Devlin and their children. Yet, training has seemingly continued.
McGregor could be seen on social media participating in some intensive sprint drills, though the Irishman opted not to publicly exercise during a quiet part of the day.
As the former featherweight and lightweight champion began his runs up a hill in the exclusive Port Adriano, cars and motorbikes flew by, and some could be heard beeping their horns at McGregor, who was disrupting traffic on a road that gives access to the local port, as reported by Spanish outlet Ultima Hora.
This didn't seem to deter the fighter, however. He continued his drills as though the vehicles were not present, and could be heard breathing heavily thanks to the intensity of the training.
Residents and tourists to the area were reportedly stunned when they saw the shirtless Irishman dedicated to his circuit, and this hasn't been the first time McGregor has used such a method to stay in shape.
In 2022, another video was uploaded to social media showing McGregor sprinting up a very similar hill on the island, this time in pitch-black darkness, screaming as he went.

He wrote on Instagram at the time: "Ask yourself this: Why aren't you finding a hill and sprinting it? It's simple, effective, free, benefits are astounding."
The Irishman has been enjoying his return to the holiday destination, and has supposedly also been pictured relaxing on his yacht with his fiancée and children, riding on a €10,000 Porsche electric bike, driving around in a Ferrari and tipping the locals well.
Whether McGregor will step back into the UFC is another matter. In 2024, the 36-year-old was pencilled in to take on Michael Chandler as part of UFC 303, but was forced to pull out due to injury.
It has long been hinted that he will one day return, and the Notorious opened up in April about one specific stipulation that would have to be met should he make his reappearance.
"I'll only come back to a stadium," McGregor wrote on social media platform X, revealing that any future UFC fight would have to be staged in front of a knockout crowd.
However, UFC head honcho Dana White was asked last month in a streetside interview with Adam Glyn whether McGregor's comeback was on the horizon, and he gave a telling response.
"He's not fighting anytime soon," responded White, perhaps sprinkling doubt as to whether McGregor will ever fight in the UFC again. "I haven't talked to him in a minute. But I don't know."

Tyson Fury's plane forced to land shortly after takeoff as ‘problem found' with boxing star & family left ‘terrified'

TYSON Fury was left "terrified" after a jet he was travelling on was forced to land shortly after takeoff due to a "problem" with the aircraft. The retired heavyweight boxer was travelling with his family after marrying his wife Paris for the third time, 17 years after they first tied the knot. 3 Tyson addressed his fans on Instagram, explaining how his plane had encountered a 'problem' Credit: instagram/tysonfury 3 The jet was forced to 'turn around' mid-air and return to where it had taken off from after travelling just '100 miles' Credit: instagram/tysonfury 3 The retired heavyweight boxer had been travelling with his family when their travel plans were scuppered Credit: instagram/tysonfury However, their transport plans were scuppered after the jet they were aboard was forced to turn around mid-air and return to where it took off from after travelling just "100 miles". Speaking to his fans on Instagram, Tyson explained how there had been a "problem with one of the wings" on the aircraft, meaning it had to "turn around". He said: "So, we've travelled 100 miles on the plane and the captain's come over to me and said 'we've got to turn this plane around because there's a problem with one of the wings and it won't fix on the computer so we gotta try and get back and turn around'". The Gypsy King, 37, filmed the clip while onboard the aircraft, saying he was left "terrified" by the flight scare. He said: "Talk about totally sh***ing yourself. So we're now spinning the plane around and going back to the airport where we started. Terrifying." Clips from his stories on Instagram show the family aboard the aircraft as it turns back to where it took off from. Tyson captioned the video as "bad news". This comes after the retired heavyweight boxer tied the knot for the third time with his wife Paris. Fury first wed Paris in 2008, with his beloved wife having been by his side throughout his incredible career. The couple have seven children together; sons Prince John James, 13, Prince Tyson II, nine, Prince Adonis Amaziah, six, and Prince Rico, two, and daughters Venezuela, 15, Valencia, seven, and Athena, four. 'Third time lucky' - Tyson Fury marries wife Paris again in intimate ceremony in France 17 years after first nuptials All seven kids were by their parents' side in France as they renewed their vows in an intimate ceremony. Posting several pictures from the special occasion to his 6.7 million Instagram followers, the Gypsy King wrote: "Paris Fury and I got married again; third time lucky. "We had the most beautiful day in the South of France, it holds a lot of special memories for us." Fury accompanied his post with Bruno Mars' 2011 hit "Marry You". Paris, 35, appeared to wear a bespoke white dress by self-portrait for the occasion while the Gypsy King wore a relaxed cream shirt, white shorts and sandals. The event took place in a picturesque French church and it appeared to be a family affair, with just the couple's kids in attendance. HAPPILY RETIRED... FOR NOW Fury announced his retirement from boxing in January following his second defeat to Oleksandr Usyk Last month, however, the Gypsy King's promoter Frank Warren said of his man: "He's made it clear he wants to fight Usyk." But asked about a potential retirement U-turn while out at Doncaster Racecourse earlier this month, Fury said: "Never. "Too old, look at my beard, all grey. Boxing is a young man's game."

5 Irish players set for regular Premier League football and 7 on the periphery

5 players likely to get substantial game time Caoimhín Kelleher Kelleher joined Brentford from Liverpool in the summer for €14 million, potentially rising to €21 million in add-ons. The 26-year-old looks set to be finally given a chance as a regular number one, having spent years at the Reds as arguably the Premier League's most reliable back-up stopper. The Cork native already has 25 Premier League appearances under his belt and featured 67 times in all competitions for the Anfield outfit, so he's not short of top-level experience. It'll be interesting to see how he fares with a team that doesn't invariably dominate the ball and concede minimal chances, although he has some experience of that too with Ireland. Nathan Collins Since joining Brentford for a club-record €26.6 million in the summer of 2023, Collins has swiftly developed into a key player for the Bees. The 24-year-old's importance has been highlighted by the fact that new manager Keith Andrews has appointed his fellow Irishman as club captain. Collins was the only outfielder to play every single minute of Premier League action last season, and such reliability has drawn interest from elsewhere, with Tottenham and Liverpool among the clubs rumoured to be admirers of the Leixlip native. Josh Cullen Another Irish international who is the captain of his club. The 29-year-old featured in 44 of Burnley's 46 appearances as they were promoted from the Championship as runners-up last season. And Cullen featured in 25 of 38 matches as the Clarets were relegated from the Premier League the season before last. And the 42-times capped Ireland player is expected to play a prominent role again. The Lancashire-based outfit will be among the favourites for the drop again, but Cullen now has over 100 appearances to his name at Burnley alone, and that level of experience will be invaluable in their bid to avoid relegation. Jake O'Brien Having looked surplus to requirements in the first half of last season after moving to Everton from Lyon in a €20 million deal, O'Brien became a regular after David Moyes replaced Sean Dyche as manager. The 24-year-old made 20 top-flight appearances in total, scoring two goals, and the majority of those came at right-back. The Toffees have been linked with a player who specialises in that position, Kellen Fisher, but O'Brien is expected to get plenty of game time regardless, potentially in his favoured position at centre-half. Advertisement Matt Doherty Another Irish player who benefited from a change in manager last season. Doherty ended up making 30 Premier League appearances last season, but it was only when Vítor Pereira replaced Gary O'Neil as coach that he became a regular starter. The Dubliner will be 34 in January, but, after difficult spells at Tottenham and Atletico Madrid, he has looked increasingly rejuvenated since returning to Wolves. Key to his resurgence has been a positional switch — Doherty now mainly operates as a right-sided centre-back and is no longer required to exhibit the immense physicality required to be a Premier League wing-back. He has made 60 top-flight appearances overall in his last two seasons at Wolves, compared to 44 in three campaigns at Spurs, and he can expect plenty of game time again this season as he is a player Pereira trusts. 7 on the periphery Alan Browne of Sunderland lifts the EFL Championship Play Off trophy. Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Alan Browne Much like with the Irish national team, Browne appears to be considered a squad player rather than a guaranteed starter for Sunderland. The midfielder made 22 Championship appearances for the Black Cats last season, 13 of which were starts. The 30-year-old was unlucky because he suffered a leg fracture that meant he missed a substantial portion of the 2024-25 season and was playing catch-up by the time he returned to full fitness. So he could conceivably play a role in the upcoming campaign if he avoids further injuries. But while Jobe Bellingham's €37 million departure to Borussia Dortmund frees up one place, the arrival of four midfielders – Enzo Le Fée (€22 million), Habib Diarra (€35 million), Noah Sadiki (€20 million), and Granit Xhaka (€20 million) — suggests it won't be any easier for Browne to get in the team and a move away may be required. Nathan Fraser One of the young players who has tended to go under the radar, the 20-year-old Ireland underage international made seven Premier League appearances for Wolves in the 2023-24 campaign, though it was amidst an injury crisis at the club. He has yet to score in the top flight, but he did find the net in both the FA Cup and League Cup last season. However, the fact that he started just once in the league suggested he had some way to go before establishing himself as a regular and the theory was backed up last season, when he failed to make a single appearance for the club and had a disappointing loan spell with Belgian side Zulte Waregem that was brought to a halt after five appearances. According to The Athletic, a substantial part of the last campaign saw Fraser work on a programme 'designed to improve his physicality'. The youngster has a contract at Wolves until 2028, though he still appears to be well down the pecking order and is expected to make another loan move this season. Seamus Coleman A hugely respected figure at Everton, but despite a total of 428 games for the Toffees and a one-year contract extension awarded to him last June, it seems the 36-year-old's days as a regular starter are over. Coleman made five Premier League appearances last season, only three of which were starts and the most recent led to his withdrawal in the 18th minute due to injury. He made a total of 12 appearances the previous season, and the odds are against the Donegal native getting into double figures this term. But his influence around the club as long-time captain is ostensibly the reason why he has been kept on, and it would be no surprise to see the Toffees legend graduate to a coaching role eventually. Mark Travers Another Irish Evertonian, Travers joined the club from Bournemouth for €4.6 million in the summer. However, the Maynooth native is not expected to displace Jordan Pickford as first-choice and will likely have to settle for a role as back-up goalkeeper. The 26-year-old had a similar status for most of his time in the first team at the Cherries (he spent nine years there in total), making four Premier League appearances last season in addition to 18 on loan at Middlesbrough in the second half of the campaign. Alex Murphy Since joining from Galway United in 2022, the 21-year-old has made two Premier League substitute appearances for Newcastle in the 2023-24 campaign. The defender also played 13 times on loan in the second half of last season at Bolton, as they finished a few points off the League One play-off places in eighth. Murphy is not expected to break into Newcastle's star-studded team this campaign, so another loan move might be his best option, though the fact that he signed a new long-term contract with the Magpies last year suggests the club rate him highly. Andrew Moran One of Ireland's most promising youngsters, Moran has already made one Premier League appearance for Brighton, coming off the bench in the January 2023 win over Everton. In the last two seasons, the midfielder has made 70 Championship appearances in respective loan spells at Blackburn and Stoke City. This form has seen him rewarded at international level, with Moran winning three Ireland caps — one under Stephen Kenny and two since Heimir Hallgrímsson took charge. It is still a big ask for the 21-year-old to break into a Brighton side with considerable depth, so he may be on the move again before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. Michael Obafemi Memorably contributed a goal and assist in Ireland's 3-0 June 2022 Nations League win over Scotland, but it's fair to say that it hasn't worked out as hoped for player and country alike since then. The striker has 12 caps in total, but has only featured once since 2023, largely owing to injury and form-related issues at club level. The 25-year-old did appear twice in Burnley's 2023-24 Premier League campaign, but has not worn the club's colours in almost two years, while he has not made a single league start for the team since joining from Swansea in January 2023. In the last two seasons, he has had relatively underwhelming loan spells in the Championship with Millwall and Plymouth, scoring four goals in 43 appearances. Another exit — either temporary or permanent — is expected, with a move to the Turkish side, Kasimpasa, already falling through during the summer.
