Conor McGregor's long absence from the UFC octagon finally bore fruit this month as the 28-year-old UFC Lightweight champion revealed photos of his newborn baby, along with partner Dee Devlin. While the name of the young one hasn't been revealed, we'll just call him McGregor Junior for now.

Getting close ❤️

While we all know that McGregor is a southpaw fighter (left-handed) and has one of the most vicious left hands in the UFC, it remains to be seen if Junior too can emulate his father and continue the McGregor legacy in the UFC.

In a photo posted by his dad on Instagram, McGregor Junior is seen attempting a left hook punch with a quite interesting guard to cover his chin!

The picture is nothing but a perfectly-timed photography shot, with full of precision, drawing memories from Conor McGregor's famous octagon speech: "Precision beats power, timing beats speed". Having said that, 'McDaddy' captioned the photo quite interestingly.

We can land the left paw from anywhere. Who wants it.

McGregor fought last in November 2016, when he won the Lightweight championship after defeating Eddie Alvarez at the historic UFC 205 event in New York, via a second round KO/TKO.

Comments on Instagram to the photo:
