The shining star of the MMA world, Conor McGregor, has left no doubts regarding his nationality. ‘Mystic Mac’ often carries the Irish national flag while walking out to the octagon. McGregor has a deep sense of connection to his motherland. He has also been vocal about his life outside the UFC multiple times. His fiance, Dee Devlin, accompanies him in a lot of events. But, the other members of McGregor’s family have hardly been spotted with him.

McGregor’s family carries a tradition of having long and durable relationships. Conor’s parents, Margaret and Tony McGregor, have been together since they were just 16 years of age and still share a strong bond with each other. Lots of fans have often wanted to know more about the much less-mentioned parents of McGregor. However, a lot of reports suggest that McGregor’s flamboyant personality was inherited from his father.

Who is Conor McGregor’s father, Tony McGregor?

Conor’s father, Tony McGregor, is actually a Liverpudlian. His father was an officer in the British Navy and had to stay out of their residence most of the time. His mother took this opportunity to cheat on his father, and Tony’s family fell apart sooner than he had imagined. He then traveled to Ireland in search of shelter and started to live in his relatives’ homes until he got along by himself.

He started getting into menial jobs to support himself. This is where he met Conor’s mother, Margaret, for the first time. Tony McGregor’s personality can be traced by taking a look at his son. He is often loud-mouthed and quick-witted in conversations. McGregor probably inherited Tony’s speaking style as ‘the Liverpool native’ also talks with a heavy Irish accent.
