Ebanie Bridges continues to defend her friendship with Conor McGregor.
The former world champion boxer travelled to Dublin this past weekend to visit UFC star McGregor and spend the night partying at one of his pubs.

On Sunday morning, Bridges shared pictures from her night on the tiles with the former two-weight champion and 6-1 professional boxer Jasmina Zapotoczna.
“What an incredible night with Conor McGregor and Jasmina Zapotoczna at the Black Forge Inn,” she captioned the post.
“Unbelievable food and atmosphere. Thank you everyone who came out.
“If you haven’t been to The Black Forged in YOU HAVE TO GO.
“And don’t forget to have a Pint of the Forged Irish stout.
“I f***en love Ireland!”
It didn’t take long for social media trolls to make inappropriate comments about Bridges’ relationship with McGregor, who has four children with his long-time partner Dee Devlin.
“Out together AGAIN,” one person wrote alongside the ‘snidey eyes’ emoji.

‘The Blonder Bomber’ put him in his place with a four-word rebuttal.
Bridges replied: “That’s what friends do.”
McGregor and Bridges met at Katie Taylor’s first fight with Chantelle Cameron last May before attending Anthony Joshua’s scrap against Robert Helenius together a few months later.
Post-fight, the popular Aussie was forced to defend her friendship with McGregor from ‘haters’ and two months later they made their partnership official with a sponsorship deal.

Bridges became an official Forged Irish Stout athlete ahead of her IBF bantamweight title defence against Miyo Yoshida last December.
McGregor couldn’t be there in person to support his pal, so he put one of his Forged Irish Stout’s ring girls, Chloe Ellman-Baker, on a plane to America instead.
Ellman-Baker surprised Bridges by showing up unannounced, but having a close friend in attendance didn’t stop her from losing a unanimous decision to Yoshida.
Fighting on the undercard of Haney vs Prograis, Yoshida stunned Bridges in a 7-1 upset to leave the Australian ‘gutted’.
Win, lose or draw, McGregor continues to stand by his friend, and she does the same despite finding herself under fire from people who don’t understand their relationship.
