Conor McGregor catches large shark as he goes fishing in Miami

Conor McGregor caught a large shark as he went fishing in Miami this week.

The UFC star shared photos on social media as he continues to enjoy time in the Magic City with his fiancee Dee Devlin and their three children.

McGregor claimed he caught the shark from his 'back garden' and told fans to 'protect the ocean' and 'fish responsibly'.

He tweeted : "Caught a shark from my back garden today in Miami.

"Back in you go my little ocean critter. Protect the ocean. Fish responsibly."

It comes just days after the former two-weight champion was handed the key to Miami by the city's mayor.

Sharing the news online, McGregor said: "The Mac with The Key to The City of Miami!

"Thank you Mayor Suarez for bestowing this great honor upon me and with my family present to witness.

"A very proud moment for me in my life. Thank you!

"Your hospitality and care for my family and team will be forever remembered.

"God Bless you and this great city! May the spirit of Miami live within us all."

The Notorious was also spotted enjoying a beach day with his family last week.

He could be seen holding his daughter Croia's hand in one picture, while Dee was all smiles while holding little Rian in another.

The couple also shared a kiss and can be seen looking out into the sea in one other snap.

McGregor has remained in America since his UFC 264 defeat to Dustin Poirier in July, with Dee and their kids jetting out to the States shortly after the bout.

He is continuing to recover from the horror leg break he suffered in the Las Vegas bout and is not expected to return to the octagon until well into 2022.
