Conor McGregor Buys Baby Son Expensive Suit For Floyd Mayweather Fight [PHOTO]
Conor McGregor is known for having flashy taste in clothes, but he isn’t the only one dressing in style ahead of his fight with Floyd Mayweather Saturday night. The UFC star bought his young son a three-piece suit for the bout at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
McGregor’s girlfriend, Dee Devlin, gave birth to Conor Jr. on May 5, and McGregor hasn’t been shy about sharing pictures of his baby on social media. The latest photos show the three-month-old dressed for the biggest event of his father’s life as McGregor looks to make history in his first-ever professional boxing match.
According to The Mirror, David August Heil, the founder and creative director of David August, measured the UFC lightweight champion and his son for bespoke suits for fight night. August visited McGregor in Las Vegas, where the fighter has been training for weeks.
“He’s been a great motivation this camp,” McGregor said of his son, speaking with reporters two weeks ago at a workout in Las Vegas. “I’m in awe of my little boy. I’m in awe of him. Comparing images the other day, and he looks exactly like me. I’m very happy about that.”
Conor Jr. is the MMA star’s first child and one of the reasons why it’s been so long since McGregor last fought. McGregor defeated Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 on Nov. 12 in his most recent bout, stepping inside the octagon for the fourth time in 11 months. Following that fight, McGregor said he would be taking some time off because of the impending birth of his son.
Baby Conor is following in his father’s footsteps, though his suit is a little bit more tame than what the fighter sometimes wears. McGregor made headlines on the first day of the four-stop press tour that he conducted with Mayweather in July, wearing a suit lined with pinstripes that read “Fuck You.”
McGregor’s infamous suit became so popular that Heil decided to put a limited number of them on sale for $6,500.
“Right after Conor wore the suit I started receiving text messages and phone calls from our clients asking for the exact look,” Heil said in a statement. “We're only producing a limited quantity, which will be numbered and signed by myself so it will be an exclusive group who own this style.”
Flaunting expensive three-piece suits wasn’t something McGregor was doing just a few years ago. He was still collecting welfare checks shortly before he made his UFC debut in 2013.
Four years later, McGregor insists that he hasn’t forgotten the life he left behind.
“What I arrive to the gym in, what I wear to the gym, my home that I go home to, those are things that have changed. They have become nicer. But the fundamentals are still there. I show up, I work hard, and I accomplish through my work," McGregor told reporters.
McGregor has named his boat “The 188,” recognizing the 188 euros he received each week in welfare payments before bursting onto the scene with the UFC.
