Right now the two have a son and a daughter. Their son, Conor Jr. was born in May 2017, while their daughter, Croia was born in January 2019. Earlier this year, McGregor announced that him and Devlin are engaged.

As McGregor gets ready to welcome his third kid to the world, he is also preparing for Poirier. Their fight is rematch from their UFC 178 matchup back in 2014. McGregor won that fight by a first-round TKO.
