But fellow MMA fighter and McGregor’s sparring partner Artem Lobov put the record straight in a brutal Twitter post.

Replying to Ora’s tweet, in a post which has since been deleted, he wrote: “Sorry Rita, Burgers are nice but not when a man has steak at home.”

McGregor, 29, has been dating girlfriend Dee Devlin for more than eight years and the pair recently had a baby together, Conor Jack McGregor.

Ora has been quietly dating musician Andrew Watts since October last year.

Unsurprisingly, Lobov’s response attracted praise with many applauding the Russian for backing up McGregor.

One fan said: “Artem you savage hero” as another simply wrote: “Take a bow mate. Take a bow.”

McGregor fans were quick to label Ora “disrespectful” for uploading the images of the pair.

One wrote: “major disrespect to his girlfriend”, while another added: “A little too cosy Ms Ora.”

A third agreed, tweeting: “Seriously disrespectful to his partner and mother of his child.”

Ora doesn’t seem overly phased by the reaction.
