Conor McGregor posts heartwarming family pictures as he enjoys Christmas in Ireland

Conor McGregor shared heartwarming pictures of his young family as he enjoyed Christmas in Ireland before making his long-awaited UFC return in 2020.

McGregor will return to the octagon for the first time since October 2018 when his fight with Donald Cerrone headlines UFC 246 on January 18.

Before that, 'The Notorious' has been relaxing in his native Ireland with his partner Dee Devlin and their two young children Conor Jr and Croia.

In a Christmas Day Instagram post - which clocked up more than 400,000 likes in two hours - McGregor can be seen cuddling baby Croia while wearing a party hat, relaxing at home with Devlin after the family's Christmas dinner, and heading for a Christmas Day outing with his partner and the children.

McGregor could be seen beaming in the photos, and his partner was clearly happy too, replying to the post with the comment 'Best Day' and a heart emoji.

Former two-weight UFC champion McGregor spread some festive cheer this Christmas by donating nearly £25,000 to a homelessness charity in his home city of Dublin.

The 31-year-old's donation of 25million euros to the charity Inner City Helping Homeless included toy vouchers for the city’s disadvantaged children, according to the Daily Mail .

McGregor's generous donation will be a hugely welcome boost at a time of year when temperatures plummet and feelings of loneliness and isolation can be exacerbated.

A return to UFC is now less than a month away for McGregor, who has not fought since being choked out by Khabib Nurmagomedov in October 2018.

After fighting 'Cowboy' Cerrone at welterweight, McGregor is believed to be eyeing a match-up with Jorge Masvidal before a rematch against Nurmagomedov.
