Conor McGregor’s old school photograph has rocked the world of social media as the UFC hardman appears a cherubic boy
YOU'LL never guess who the cherubic looking young boy in this picture turned out to be.
Old family pictures can often come back to embarrass us when we grow up.
But for Conor McGregor, the last thing he will want is opponents seeing a side to him that does NOT look like it could knock them out.
Without a bloodied face or rugged beard, the Irish bruiser - who exacted revenge over old foe Nate Diaz at UFC 202 - looks like he couldn't hurt a fly as a youngster.
Now, as a bulking, tattoo-clad 28-year-old, McGregor is quite the opposite.
Older sister Erin posted the black and white school snap to her Instagram full of praise for her younger brother.
