Conor McGregor posts hilarious first pic of newborn son

Conor McGregor has posted the first photos of newborn baby Conor Jr, and the little guy is already shaping up as a future fighter.

The UFC superstar and long-time girlfriend Dee Delvin welcomed their baby boy into the world on Friday evening in Ireland.

Born at 8pm local time at Coombe Maternity Hospital in Dublin, little Conor Jack McGregor tipped the scales at 8 pounds and 14 ounces.

"The whole family are absolutely delighted," new grandad Tony McGregor said.

"The parents are absolutely over the moon and everyone is healthy."

McGregor Sr has since posted pictures of his son and partner following the birth, thanking the fans for their support, and even mixing in some customary trash talk.

"He can land the left paw from anywhere. Who wants it," McGregor captioned a pic of his son seemingly throwing a left hook.

"Dee and Junior are doing great everyone! Thank you for all the kind words. I am one proud and blessed Daddy," he captioned another.

McGregor Sr is known to have a high opinion of himself, so it came as little surprise to many observers that he chose the same name for his baby boy.

McGregor and Delvin have been together for eight years.

Not only is the baby healthy and less than a week old, he also has his own Instagram account.

Set up by Conor Jr's doting parents, its followers include McGregor's management team as well as more than 20,000 others.
