Conor McGregor is ensuring the McGregor clan stays alive and well in future generations.
The former UFC two-division champion announced the birth of his fourth child — and third son — this past week. On Monday, McGregor revealed a name for his new baby boy: Mack McGregor.
Mack joins siblings Conor Jr., Croia, and Rian in the growing family helmed by McGregor and the fighter’s long-time partner and fiancée Dee Devlin.
McGregor, 35, has been tentatively linked to a UFC return bout against Michael Chandler since coaching against the American on The Ultimate Fighter 31 in early 2023. McGregor told reporters in late October that the UFC was targeting April 2024 for his comeback fight and voiced frustration at his long layoff since his July 2021 loss to Dustin Poirier, however McGregor’s SBG Ireland coach John Kavanagh recently told MMA Fighting that the promotion has delayed McGregor’s return again to a targeted bout in the “summertime.”
McGregor officially re-entered the UFC’s drug-testing pool with USADA on Oct. 8, meaning he will be eligible to compete again on April 8, 2024, per USADA rules. He submitted his first drug tests following his long-awaited reentry into the program in late October.
In total, McGregor has fought in MMA just four times since capturing the UFC lightweight title with a 2016 win over Eddie Alvarez, sandwiching a victory over Donald Cerrone between a title loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov and back-to-back stoppage losses to Poirier.
