UFC fans left bemused as Conor McGregor has chest rubbed by wife Dee Devlin in bizarre scenes on live TV

UFC face are baffled after Conor McGregor’s wife “creepily” rubbed his chest inside his open-necked shirt on live TV.

Dee Devlin produced her loving but surprising response when MMA legend McGregor and Hollywood superstar Jake Gyllenhall acted up for the cameras cage-side at UFC 285.

Actor Jake Gyllenhaal and fighter Conor McGregor came to life when the cameras focused on the two superstars watching on at UFC 295

Dee leaned over and stroked the top of the Irish fighter’s tattooed torso as she stared dreamily into the middle distance.

McGregor in turn went from his usual mean to preen machine – as he rolled his head back to bask in the attention, before posting the clip on Instagram.

Spider-Man: Far From Home actor Gyllenhaal was at the Las Vegas event filming a fight scene for the remake of cult classic film Roadhouse.

And he seemed to have almost as much fun as Dee as he roared with laughter while posing with his fists raised when the cameras panned to the three of them.

But fans on social media focused more on Dee’s “strange” antics.

Questions came in like: “Why is your woman creepily stroking?” and “What’s the deal with the chest rub?”

But others pointed out that the couple have been together since 2008 and can do what they want.

One said: “Dee gave Conor 3 kids, and is still aging beautifully, and why do u guys care so much about a woman rubbing her husband’s chest?”

A few sceptics wondered if the scene might all be part of the hype for Roadhouse – or even make it into the film.

One such comment was: “Y’all know that’s part of the movie right?”

And with McGregor looking so laidback, another claim would make an even more bizarre plot twist if true: “That’s a fake Conor. Dude definitely got clone.”

One thing is certain, though.

The former featherweight and lightweight champion, 34, was also there to see comeback king Jon Jones beat Ciryl gane to land the vacant heavyweight crown.
