Conor McGregor UFC news: Notorious visits Santa with Dee Devlin and kids

Conor McGregor visited Santa over the weekend with Dee Devlin and their two children, Conor Jr and Croia.

The Notorious took a break from training for his UFC comeback to get into the festive spirit.

He posted a picture of his happy, smiling family on Instagram.

He commented on it: "First visit to Santa today.

"Santa told us that Christmas is the season of love and understanding!

"To Love each other, and to Understand each other!

"It is all that matters!

"Merry Christmas everyone."

The former two-weight champion returns to the Octagon next month when he faces Donald Cerrone in Las Vegas.

It will be his first fight since losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov in October last year.

The Santa visit comes after Dana White said he believes McGregor realises that he "needs to get his act together".

The UFC President told the Stephen A. Smith show: “He has been training hard, he has been getting ready for this moment.

“The problem is you’ve seen this, not just in fighting but in other sports, when a guy has 100 and something million dollars, he’s young, he’s famous and now he is unbelievably rich, it is hard to keep the train on the tracks for some guys.

"That has definitely been Conor McGregor.

“I think he is at a point now where he realises he needs to get his act together.

"This win over ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone if he can pull it off is crucial in his career right now and his future. So, he is taking it very serious, he wants to stay active.

"That is why this fight is at 170 and hopefully we will get three good fights from him this year.”
