Conor McGregor zooms down water slide with son Conor Jr, 3, as UFC star takes break from training for Poirier trilogy
UFC legend Conor McGregor was pictured enjoying some quality time with his son Conor Jr in Dubai.
McGregor and his three-year-old child were snapped zooming down a water slide in a photo that The Notorious has turned into a profile picture on his Twitter account.
The 32-year-old fighter has been staying in Dubai these past few months with his family.
And it seems like the Irish superstar is going to stay in the United Arab Emirates for a while longer to train for a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier.
Poirier hinted at a third fight against McGregor when he took to Twitter on Sunday with a cryptic message.
The American lightweight simply tweeted “July 10th” and a diamond, which is his nickname.
That was seen as a clear indication of the final date for their long-awaited meeting in the Octagon.

That means McGregor vs Poirier III may take place at UFC 264 and will happen in the middle of International Fight Week.
UFC President Dana White has yet to officially confirm a venue but has strongly hinted that it will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The two men’s first battle was a featherweight contest back in 2014 when McGregor stopped Poirier inside two minutes.
But The Diamond earned some payback almost seven years later as he broke down The Notorious with some powerful kicks and took him out in the second round last January.
Poirier’s impressive victory set the stage up for a trilogy bout that may take place in the summer.
