A third fan also added: "Looks like a natural little fella."

Meanwhile, one more wrote: "His left hook is as savage as his dad’s."

The Irish mixed martial artist is known for his trademark left hook, whilst 19 of his 22 wins have come via knockout.

McGregor himself has been showing off footage from the gym recently as he nears a return to the octagon.

He has not fought for over two years after breaking his tibia in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021.

His return is expected to be against Michael Chandler, with the pair appearing as coaches on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter.

Despite McGregor teasing fans that he could face a different opponent, UFC president Dana White has confirmed his comeback will be against Chandler.

The 35-year-old has also called out Paul, with the pair hinting at a boxing bout in the future.
