Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Lightweight champion Conor McGregor is still smiling from ear-to-ear and filled with the type of joy that no amount of wins inside the Octagon can bring him after welcoming his first son into the world.
Conor and longtime partner Dee Devlin welcomed Conor Jack McGregor Jr. — who weighed in at a healthy 8 lbs. 14 oz. — into the family on Friday May 5, 2017 in Dublin, Ireland.
And earlier today (Sun., May 7, 2017), “Notorious” took to Twitter and shared the first picture of his bundle of joy.
Dee and Junior are doing great everyone! Thank you for all the kind words, I am one proud and blessed Daddy ?? pic.twitter.com/3JqMpLvs9d

Good stuff.
Conor took time off from the fight game due to Devlin’s pregnancy after knocking out Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 last September to become UFC’s first and only multi-division champion holding titles simultaneously.
Now that he’s officially a father for the first time, you can count on McGregor to continue his hiatus from the fight game to spend time with his newborn son an family.
Until then, the power players making the moves behind-the-scenes-for his much-talked about boxing match against Floyd Mayweather can continue to try and get things done.
And now they have one more obstacle to overcome.
