Conor McGregor enjoys day at the beach with his children as he soaks up the sun in Dubai

Conor McGregor soaked up the sun in the Middle East on Friday as he enjoyed a day at the beach with his kids.

The UFC star shared photos with his daughter Croia and son Conor Jr on Instagram as he continues to have some downtime following his loss to Dustin Poirier.

The American stunned McGregor by knocking him out in the second round of their UFC 257 bout in Abu Dhabi and the pair now look set for a trilogy fight later in the year.

McGregor was all smiles as he posed for a photo with Croia, while another snap showed Conor Jr jumping into the sea.

It comes after the former two-weight champion revealed the extent of the damage caused to his shins by Poirier. 

The Notorious required the use of a crutch in the immediate aftermath of the fight, and told reporters: "My leg is completely dead, and even though I felt like I was checking them [Poirier's leg kicks], it was just sinking into the muscle at the front of my leg.

"My leg was compromised, and I didn't adjust and that's it. Fair play to Dustin."

After two weeks of recovery, McGregor took to Instagram to share pictures of his heavily swollen shin.

Despite the injury, the Irishman is targeting a quick return to action, with Poirier keen on fighting McGregor for a third time.
