Conor McGregor offers young fan advice as he soaks up sun by swimming pool with Dee Devlin

Conor McGregor is set to face Dustin Poirier for a third time this summer, with the bout expected to take place on July 10.

The UFC star is currently soaking up the sun abroad with his fiancee Dee Devlin and used a quote from White Chicks to offer a young fan some advice.

McGregor signed an autograph and posed for a picture with the youngster before telling him: "Stay in school kid."

The Notorious then burst into fits of laughter as he lay back on his sun bed.

Meanwhile, John Kavanagh reckons that McGregor primarily focusing on boxing in his camp for his fight with Poirier led to his UFC 257 loss.

The former two-weight champion suffered a shock defeat to the American in their January bout in Abu Dhabi.

“I describe it as a game of spinning plates,” Kavanagh told BT Sport.

“You’re spinning the boxing plate and you realise the wrestling plate is about to stop, so you have to go spin that one, and then you have to go spin the jiu-jitsu one, you have to spin the kickboxing one.

“We got a bit obsessed with the boxing one. There was talk of a big boxing fight after that. Our bad, our mistake, our fault – no one to blame.

"We just have to make sure we have to keep spinning that kickboxing plate and all the other aspects of MMA and get ready for the rematch.”
