In a subsequent tweet, Banks again poked fun at McGregor’s supposed intention to run for the presidency of Ireland, posting: “Conor McGregor 4 President”.
McGregor’s representatives have been approached for a statement regarding the incident by Belfast Live.
The timing of Banks’ allegations coincides with McGregor’s 37th birthday, which was marked by heartfelt messages from his fiancée and mother of his four children, Dee Devlin.
This development follows recent snapshots showing the contentious figure getting close to an unidentified woman on a Florida beach amidst onlookers.
The former UFC champion was spotted getting cosy with a woman in swimwear on a beach in Fort Lauderdale.
In the photos seen by the Irish Mirror, McGregor can be seen placing his hand on her thigh, draping his arm over her shoulder, and appearing to kiss her on the lips.
His long-term partner, Devlin, took to social media for the first time since the images emerged. However, she did not address the photographs, choosing instead to mark McGregor’s 37th birthday on Monday.
She shared a fan page’s birthday tribute on her Instagram story, which read: “Happy Birthday to the person who always keeps Dee entertained and makes her smile.”
The post featured a compilation of the couple’s happier times together. The duo, who have been together for 16 years, got engaged in 2020 and share four children – sons Conor Jr, eight, Rian, four, Mack, one, and their daughter Croia, six.
Their relationship has endured several controversies, including McGregor’s civil rape case.
In November last year, he was founf civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand.
The former UFC fighter was accused of “brutally raping and battering” Ms Hand at a south Dublin hotel in Novemeber 2018, but McGregor claimed that the sexual interactions at the hotel were consensual.
The jury decided in favour of Ms Hand and awarded her with €248,603.60 in damages.
However, McGregor has launched an appeal agaisnt the verdict that got underway this month.
As they left the High Court together last year, Devlin took to social media to express her unwavering support for McGregor, saying: “My man and I have created a beautiful life together. I love him, I trust him and I BELIEVE HIM!”
She highlighted their four children as a testament to their strong relationship, adding that no one has the right to comment on it. The family, she said, remains united.
McGregor has been on a hiatus from the UFC for over four years, following a second consecutive loss to Dustin Poirier in July 2021, which left him with a broken leg.
Despite hinting at a comeback on several occasions, his highly anticipated fight against Michael Chandler, initially scheduled for June 2024, was cancelled and not rescheduled.
