The journey of an MMA fighter to the top is an extremely tough one. Many fighters in the UFC have overcome extremely tough situations to reach the summit of their division. However, one thing that has been common in the success of most athletes has been the constant love and support of their significant other.
It is very well known that Conor McGregor was on welfare before signing with the UFC. ‘The Notorious’ was constantly supported throughout the way by his fiance, Dee Devlin. Conor also admitted that he would not be where he is if his fiance had not supported him.
These men are the two top-ranked fighters on the UFC middleweight roster — Whittaker holds the first spot, Costa the second — making this a contentious meeting. Costa most recently challenged.

The pair also slept in their car as they did not have money to pay for accommodation. Therefore, it is only apt that on Valentine’s day, fighters took to social media to celebrate their partners
