UFC fans were left bemused after Conor McGregor was chest rubbed by his wife Dee Devlin in bizarre scenes on live TV.
The former two-weight world champion was appearing on the Late Late Show with Ryan Tubridy in Ireland when the incident occurred.
McGregor was discussing his return to the octagon when Devlin, who was sitting in the audience, suddenly got up and walked onto the stage.
She then proceeded to rub her husband’s chest, much to the surprise of the audience and the host.
McGregor seemed to take the incident in his stride, laughing it off and joking that it was “the best chest rub ever”.
The incident has since gone viral on social media, with many UFC fans left bemused by the bizarre scenes.
Some have praised Devlin for her show of affection, while others have questioned why she felt the need to do it in such a public setting.
McGregor is no stranger to controversy, and this latest incident is sure to add fuel to the fire.
The Irishman is set to make his return to the octagon in January, when he takes on Dustin Poirier in a rematch of their 2014 bout.
It remains to be seen whether the chest rub incident will have any effect on McGregor’s performance, but one thing is for sure – it has certainly left UFC fans bemused.
