McGregor, 34, gave his social media followers a sneak peek inside the luxury vessel which was apparently rented or borrowed for the trip.

He was snapped meditating as he soaked up the sunshine on the huge front deck of the yacht, decked out with bright orange and pink cushions.

McGregor sailed to Fight Island along with his coach John Kavanagh.

But the fight didn’t go as planned for the Irishman as Poirier won in the second round.

The pair had a trilogy fight in the summer in Las Vegas – which Poirier dominated again before his rival broke his leg in the first round.

When he gets the time, McGregor likes to head out to sea to recharge his batteries.

The former plumbing apprentice bought himself his own yacht after his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2019.

He forked out £3million on the Prestige 750 model – which is reportedly called ‘Ocean Dave’.

The 66ft vessel has four cabins on board, making it perfect for holidays with girlfriend Dee Devlin and their three kids.

But why have one, when you can have two?

McGregor has also treated himself to a luxury Lamborghini yacht worth £2.7million.

Dubbed the ‘Supercar of the Sea’, only 63 of the yachts will be made.

The Notorious has purchased number 12 in homage to his Proper No. Twelve whiskey brand.

McGregor hasn’t fought since his last loss to Poirier where he suffered a horrific leg break.

While a woman who claims she was assaulted during a party on the UFC fighter’s yacht has made a complaint to Gardai.

The Irish Sun revealed the woman, in her 20s and from the Drimnagh area of the capital, made a statement to officers at Sundrive Garda station in Crumlin earlier in August.
