Conor McGregor, the former two-weight UFC champion, is undoubtedly one of the greatest combat sports athletes in the world. The 34-year-old Irish star is also a father of three children, Conor Jack McGregor Jr., Croia McGregor, and Rian McGregor. ‘The Notorious’ has a legacy in the sport and, like every father, even McGregor wants his children to carry that forward.

In order to do that, the former lightweight champion always keeps his children close even while training in the gym. He is often seen sharing combat advice and engages in light sparring with his kids. The Irish star also posts about it on social media.
