He wrote: “It is with deep regret I announce the death of my beloved sister Pamela 25/06/23. Rest In Peace.”
Conor McGregor is yet to speak about the sad news.
He is currently filming The Ultimate Fighter alongside future opponent Michael Chandler.
The Crumlin native has got off to the worst possible start as his team of prospects have now lost four times to Chandler’s veterans.
In the latest episode, Trevor Wells was beaten by Timur Valiev on points to add more misery to McGregor.
The former two-weight champion fumed at the scoring and called for a third round to settle the bout.
But Chandler said: “I get what Conor is saying, if I was in his shoes I would probably think the fight was closer than it actually was.
“But to me and the judges, we know who won those two rounds.”
UFC president Dana White added: “Trevor showed some great defence against the cage when Timur got him in a body triangle.
“He wanted to stand and bang, he landed a couple of good shots and wouldn’t let Timur take him down.
“The difference in experience didn’t seem to be a factor in round one.”
McGregor, 34, is set to make his UFC return against Chandler, 37, but the fight faces uncertainty over drug testing restrictions.
The Notorious has been out since July 2021 when he broke his leg in the opening round against Dustin Poirier.
And in that period of recovery, McGregor has not been in the United States Anti-Doping Agency’s all-year round testing pool.
To return, he must complete six months of testing but the former two-weight champion is yet to be added to USADA’s online database.
The last UFC pay-per-view of the year is set for December 16, meaning McGregor would have needed to enrol by June 16.
Chandler vented his frustration when USADA paid him a visit as his super-fight faces the KO.
He said: “Alright guys, you guys have all seen the news: Conor’s not in USADA.
“One hundred and seventy-nine days left until December 16, which is supposed to be the last pay-per-view of the year.
“And comically, USADA shows up at my door today to add insult to injury. Where you at, boy?”
