Tony McGregor shows off flashy car as he barbecues with Proper 12 sauce

Conor McGregor's dad seems to be enjoying the good weather as the temperatures soar heading into the Bank Holiday weekend.

Tony McGregor shared a number of photos on his Instagram story as he enjoyed a barbecue using his son's own Proper 12 sauce.

The father of three also posted a snap of a flashy sports car on the social media platform.

Tony cooked salmon, steaks and burgers on a number of disposable barbecues. 

Meanwhile, his son is open to a fight with UFC legend Anderson Silva.

Former middleweight champ Silva, considered by McGregor himself to be the greatest mixed martial artists of all time, made the proposal on Thursday.

The Brazilian suggested the rivals fight at a catchweight of 80kg, around three kilograms heavier than the Dubliner was when he beat Donald Cerrone in January.

In responding to McGregor's labelling him the greatest of all time, Silva said: "I have an immense admiration for the great athlete Conor and I believe that a super fight would be something historic for the sport.

"Neither of us need to prove anything to anyone; I believe UFC and sport fans would like to see this great martial show, testing my martial skills with him would be fantastic!"

Taking to Twitter, McGregor responded simply, "I accept".

Silva, 45, has lost his last two fights in the UFC, to Jared Cannonier and Israel Adesanya and has been out of action for more than 12 months.

McGregor is struggling for an opponent for his next bout, likely to be in July, after Justin Gaethje set up a shot at lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov by beating Tony Ferguson.

McGregor had been linked with welterweight ruler Kamaru Usman but UFC president Dana White has ruled out that fight.

That would leave a trilogy fight with Nate Diaz but he has expressed an interest in taking on Jorge Masvidal in a rematch.
