Conor McGregor prepares for UFC comeback with outside training drills as young son zooms around on toy car
CONOR MCGREGOR looks to be having a ball as he prepares for his UFC comeback with training drills on his personal tennis court.
The Notorious has confirmed he will step back into the Octagon in Las Vegas on January 18 – although his opponent has yet to be decided.
The 31-year-old hasn’t fought since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 229 13 months ago where the Irishman was forced to tap-out.
He has since made headlines for troubles in his personal life but McGregor has been proving to fans that he remains focused by posting pictures in a different kind of court.
The former two-division champion is Notorious for his unconventional training methods and has now taken to the tennis courts as he hit the Thai pads.
He was soon joined by his son Conor Junior who stole the show by zooming around in a toy car, a week after putting his dad through his paces in the Octagon.
The McGregor pair were both wrapped up in woolly hats in the Irish breeze, with the Notorious also spending some downtime with his mother Margaret.
Conor Sr uploaded a snap of the pair enjoying a walk in the park with his dog, Hugo.
It comes after a beefed-up McGregor shared snaps on Twitter of himself climbing a rope to the ceiling and performing a handstand, sticking to his unique methods.
The Notorious is without a win in three years now, but last week celebrated the anniversary of his historic fight against Eddie Alvarez on November 12, 2016.
And it appears even the best still want a shot at taking down McGregor.

The 31-year-old lightweight is rumoured to be facing UFC veteran Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in the 2020 return bout.
And The Notorious looks bigger than ever, following his call out of welterweights Jorge Masvidal and Nate Diaz – who fought in the UFC 244 main-event.
Masvidal, who beat McGregor’s former rival by third-round TKO, claims since his victory in New York the Irish star has gone quiet about the two meeting in the cage.
