Conor McGregor will have his four children in attendance for his UFC 329 main event against Max Holloway in Las Vegas, marking the first time they will see him compete live.
McGregor’s children arrived in Las Vegas on Tuesday ahead of the bout, which is set to be his first fight in five years. The former two-division UFC champion previously chose not to bring them to his fight against Dustin Poirier, a bout that ended with a broken leg.
Detailing how he plans to balance fight week with family time, McGregor said, "I’ll spend some time with them, feed them, put them to bed and go back to the house, my house, where my coaches and my team are and begin to make the weight," and added, "I’m going to go for it this time," when asked about having them present.
Reflecting on his decision to keep them away from the Poirier bout, McGregor explained, "I am happy how it went the last time I didn’t bring them," and continued, "I was away for camp. Camp was very good. The damage in the leg and just the hostility of it all, it just wasn’t the place. I was happy and thankfully they weren’t there to witness the leg break. That’s it."
Looking ahead to UFC 329, McGregor summed up his motivation: "My inspiration and my aim is let them watch their daddy in all his glory and our god."
