Not much has changed for Conor McGregor as he shares childhood picture

Not much has changed in Conor McGregor's eyes as he took a look down memory lane this morning.

Thanks to his family, the UFC star has been handed a blast from the past as he shared a picture from his childhood with fans.

And taking to Instagram, McGregor claims that 'f**k all' has changed in him since his days as a youngster as he zoomed in on his brilliant Bart Simpson-inspired shoes.

He said: "Found another childhood pic thanks to my family. Me, my sister, my mother. Me keeping sketch, closing the door, protect, provide, decked out. F**k all has changed."

"My Bart Simpson shoes. Little jealous rats never saw me coming, now look at ya's".

It comes as McGregor's fans are unconvinced by his vow to give up alcohol ahead of his UFC return.

The Notorious has been sidelined since last July after breaking his leg, but he is expected to return to full sparring in April and make his octagon return this summer.

The Dubliner has been pictured mostly at his pub in Dublin, The Black Forge, instead of the gym as he gears up for his return, reports The Mirror.

But he assured fans last week that he would completely ditch alcohol when he returns to full training.

"For my fighting fans, I want to say I know I am enjoying myself with my liquid," McGregor wrote on Instagram.

"But very soon I will be immersing my self in full training again with complete abstention from my wonderful creations of spirit and ale. Just five more minutes Ma."

Fans were quick to react to McGregor's promise, with many of them being unimpressed.

One commenter wrote: "What camp? He has a fight booked?"

Another then replied by mocking his 2019 assault charge, writing: "Against the old man he punched a few years ago".

Other users were concerned that McGregor even needed to announce he was giving up alcohol for his return.

"If you feel the need to make some sorta declaration or announcement about getting sober for training camp, that’s a good indication that you should probably just get sober in general," a third wrote.

"Swears off alcohol with a post of a Guinness and a mixed drink, still in his bathrobe. This guy is never going to change!," a fourth user said.

A fifth commenter wasn't interested in McGregor return, writing: "Who cares we got too many good fights coming up to be worried about this mfs bs".
