Things just keep heating up—literally and figuratively—for Conor McGregor.
While the MMA legend is busy celebrating his birthday overseas, firefighters in Dublin were called out early Friday morning to battle a blaze at his beloved pub, The Black Forge Inn.
This isn’t the first time the place has gone up in flames.
And sadly, it’s happening at a time when McGregor’s personal life is also under the microscope once again.
Fire Erupts at The Black Forge Inn
Footage surfaced online showing thick smoke pouring from the entrance of the Crumlin-based pub, located on Drimnagh Road in the southern part of Dublin.
Emergency services were quick to respond, with several fire crews and Garda officers arriving on the scene to get the situation under control.
Owned by McGregor since 2019—he reportedly purchased it for around £2 million—the Black Forge has a history of drama.
Back in 2022, it was the target of a petrol bomb attack just hours after McGregor had been there.
Thankfully, no one was injured then, and it’s still unclear what sparked the most recent fire.
Authorities and McGregor’s team have yet to issue an official statement.
A Celebrity Hangout Spot
The Black Forge Inn isn’t just any local pub—it’s become a bit of a celebrity hotspot thanks to McGregor’s high-profile connections.
Just a few weeks ago, rapper 50 Cent hosted a party there to celebrate his birthday before his appearance at the Longitude Festival.
McGregor is known for showing off his flashy lifestyle and frequently invites friends and famous faces to hang out at the pub when he’s in town.
Trouble Brewing in His Personal Life
The fire comes as McGregor deals with a fresh wave of controversy.
Earlier this month, he was photographed on a beach in Fort Lauderdale kissing a woman who was not his fiancée, Dee Devlin.
The images quickly went viral, prompting speculation about the state of his long-term relationship.
Adding fuel to the fire, rapper Azealia Banks jumped into the spotlight, publicly accusing McGregor of sexual harassment on social media.
She claimed he sent her unsolicited nude photos and later shared images she says prove it.
Dee Devlin Stands By Her Man
Despite the headlines, McGregor and Devlin have continued to present a united front.
The couple recently jetted off to Sardinia to celebrate his 37th birthday, looking affectionate and seemingly unfazed by the rumors.
Dee has been by Conor’s side through thick and thin.
She supported him throughout his 2024 civil trial, where McGregor was found liable for raping 35-year-old Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in 2018.
He was ordered to pay €250,000 in damages—a verdict that shocked fans but didn’t shake Dee’s loyalty.
She even defended Conor publicly, posting on Instagram that the couple had already dealt with the issue privately and that their family had emerged stronger.
“We have four beautiful children now whose smiling faces and happy hearts are a testament to who he is and who we are,” she wrote at the time.
A Long and Complicated Love Story
Conor and Dee’s relationship goes way back—they met in 2008 as teenagers in a nightclub.
Long before the fame and the fortune, Dee believed in Conor during his struggling years and has remained a core part of his journey ever since.
The pair got engaged in 2020, and while their romance has seen its fair share of public drama, they’ve always managed to patch things up—at least on the surface.
Now, with his pub damaged and his relationship under scrutiny once more, all eyes are on what McGregor does next.
