Conor McGregor often makes headlines for his antics and Twitter stunts. The trash-talking Irishman has a reputation for being short-tempered as well. However, occasionally McGregor shows there is more to him than the brash, outspoken personality that he so often displays.

Fiancee to Dee Devlin, the 34-year-old is a family man and a father of three. “The Notorious” often gives fans a peek into his private life via his social media. A few months ago, the former two-weight world champion shared a clip of his son in a school play that won the hearts of many fans.
