Conor McGregor opened up about his son and what the future could hold for him ahead of his UFC 246 clash against Donald Cerrone.
The Notorious One was being interviewed by Megan Olivi ahead of the clash and was asked if his son would get into sports, particularly American football.
McGregor didn’t shut down the suggestion and even highlighted that his son is built for the sport:
“He’d certainly be able for it, he’s certainly built for it. Before I came here today, we had this American football and were playing it in the grass.
“He’s into fighting and we knew like football as well (soccer) so you never know.”
The Irishman continued by saying that he would back his children to do whatever they wanted, and he would support them:
“Whatever my son wants to do, whatever my children want to do, they will have the backing of their father. I will be behind them, fully supporting it.”
McGregor wanted his son to get into the world of fighting but he was alright if that didn’t happen:
“I’d love if they get into the fight game but if not, that’s no problem.”
Olivi added that this was the best thing any child could ask from their parent, as McGregor would back whatever they would do.
McGregor’s son, Conor Jack McGregor Jr, has been seen on several videos cutely training with his father.
It will be interesting to see if the youngster makes the move into the world of MMA but there is a long way to go before that happens.
Who is Claressa Shields? The Boxer than Amanda Nunes could face in next fight
Who is Colby Covington? The Donald Trump supporter that got his jaw broken at UFC 245
The Irishman is one of the top athletes in the world of MMA and Jr would have some big boots to fill if he decides follow his father.
