Ex-Rival Jose Aldo Joins Fans in a Surprising Move as Conor McGregor Celebrates 64-Year-Old Father Tony McGregor’s Birthday in Style

The UFC superstar, Conor McGregor, is undoubtedly one of the greatest athletes in the world. McGregor has made a big name for himself. The luxurious life that he enjoys today comes from his sheer hard work and dedication to the sport. The former two-division champion became the UFC superstar by turning a lot of eyes toward him. It was McGregor’s outgoing personality and antics that made him a fan favorite. However, when it comes to personal life, the UFC superstar seems like a complete family man. He often posts photos with his fiance, Dee Devlin, and kids on social media.

McGregor mostly takes his partner and kids along with him and makes sure that he spends quality time with them. Nonetheless, not many have seen the Irishman with his parents. Even though he doesn’t post pictures or appear with them in public often, he shares a great bond with them. McGregor’s latest post is an example of the same. It was his father, Tony McGregor’s, birthday. The Irishman made sure that he tried to make his dear father happy on his special day. However, Jose Aldo also reacted to the post.

Fans shower Conor McGregor’s father with birthday wishes

The UFC superstar took to his Instagram handle to post pictures of his father, Tony McGregor. Under the post, he wrote, “Happy birthday Tony Mac.” Tony McGregor is from Liverpool. His father was in the British Navy, and hence most of his childhood was spent away from his homeland. When his parents separated, Tony McGregor migrated to Ireland in search of greener pastures. He did menial jobs to earn a livelihood for himself. It was during the struggling phase that McGregor’s father met ‘Mystic Mac’s mother, Margaret.

They soon fell in love with each other. McGregor’s parents have been together ever since. When fans came across the Irishman’s sweet birthday wish for his father, they too joined in to wish Tony McGregor. Even McGregor’s former rival Jose Aldo reacted to the post with ‘clapping’ and a hand-folded emoji.

This surprised many people, as both fighters have been adversaries in the past. They fought back in 2015 (UFC 194) which resulted in Aldo’s loss in round 1 via KO. It took ‘Mystic Mac’ just 13 seconds to dispose of his opponent.

Further, many fans left positive messages for the older McGregor.

A fan felt that the father-son duo was admirable. “Great present your an amazing son”

Another fan pointed out that the Irishman’s father looks like British celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay. “First pic kinda looks like gordon ramsay”

Some of the Instagram users wished him a happy birthday. “Happy Birthday T-Mac!! Deadly shots”
