Did Conor McGregor and Rita Ora get close on their 'date-night'?

Irish Mixed Martial Artist (MMA) fighter Conor McGregor's teammate Artem Lobov lashed out at British singer Rita Ora after she stirred speculation that she and the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) star were getting close.

Ora tweeted a picture (below) on Tuesday of the duo at the Fashion Awards. "Date night," she wrote.

The tweet didn't go down well with Lobov. Replying to Ora's tweet, 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 eight years. The couple also have young son, Conor Jack McGregor.
