Little Conor Jr's performance was incredibly cute, but it's his confidence which has drawn comparisons.
Conor McGregor may be preparing for one of the biggest fights of his life, but it's his son who grabbed the attention onstage in Las Vegas.
The 30-year-old is preparing for a UFC lightweight title fight against undefeated Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov in the US city, where he trained in an open workout on Wednesday – and decided to bring one-year-old Conor Jr along.
Adorable and confident, little Conor Jr's performance stole the show.
The littler McGregor's swashbuckling charge went down brilliantly with the audience gathered to watch his dad spar – and it drew some comparisons too.
After Conor Jr had shown off his moves on the mats though, his dad came out to display what he can do too.
McGregor and Nurmagomedov's fight at the T-Mobile Arena has been billed as the biggest in the UFC's history as the Irishman looks to make a statement against the person who succeeded him as 155lb champion.
Nurmagomedov, 30, has won 26 fights in the octagon and lost none but McGregor said after the open workout he plans to "take his head off" at UFC 229.

"Saturday night: You're in for a show, trust me on that,” he told the crowd. "I'm going to take his head off. Trust me.
"(It will be a) devastating KO. (Nurmagomedov is) too easy to hit, too flat-footed, too predictable, I’m going to knock him clean out."
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korean police said Thursday they are seeking to formally arrest two people who have been detained on suspicion of attempting to blackmail Tottenham captain Son Heung-min.
According to Korea’s Yonhap News Agency, the 32-year-old English Premier League star filed a complaint with Seoul police after allegedly being approached last June by a woman in her 20s who claimed she was pregnant with his child and demanded money to stay silent.
A man in his 40s was also apprehended on Wednesday.
“The police are currently investigating, so we will let you know the results as soon as they are available,” the player’s agency, Son & Football Limited, said. “We’d like to tell you that Son Heung-min is clearly the victim of this incident.”
Son joined Tottenham in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen and has scored 173 goals in 451 games for the north London club.
Still without a major trophy in his career, the South Korea national team captain is preparing to lead Tottenham in the Europa League final against Manchester United next Wednesday.
