Conor McGregor just told his little boy to punch another child in the mouth

Conor McGregor

Classy.

Conor McGregor showed off his parenting skills in a recent Instagram video, where the UFC champion can be heard encouraging his three-year-old to punch another child “in the mouth” as they relax on the beach in Dubai.

McGregor shared a video with his millions of Instagram followers and, needless to say, many reacted to the content and conversation in the video.

“This is the McGregor family crest. It’s a lion’s head with a crown on it because you are a king, champ. We are kings,” McGregor is heard telling his son, Conor Jr.

“Bash anyone that says anything, you hear?”

McGregor then asked his son: “Did he hit did you? Where did he hit you? Hit him back. Hit him in the mouth.”

The soon-to-be father-of-three can then be seen kissing his son before saying: “I’m going to give you some boxing training, come on. Hands up.”

Having seen the video, one follower commented: ‘That’s not how you bring a child up, teaching him to smack children. Teach him to be kind and respectful.’

A second one added: ‘Absolutely disgrace, He should be teaching his son good values. Hope his son doesn’t follow in his dad’s steps.’

The negative comments kept coming, with one fan writing: ‘Lovely! Telling a kid to go for the mouth or nose. To hit another kid. Great parenting, not!’

Another raged: ‘Wrong in a lot of ways. I’m not a parent but don’t teach your kid to go fight in the street. Teach your kid to be better than that.
