Conor McGregor credits baby Conor Jr as the greatest experience of 2017

While reflecting on 2017, Conor McGregor has said that he's leaving all the bad behind him and is taking forward the great experiences, such as the birth of his son.

The star opened up in a new Instagram post after being bed bound due to an illness that forced him to cancel his New Year's Eve plans last minute. He said that half of the McGregor family were suffering from the same flu virus, with some needing to be hospitalised. Conor himself was so bad that he was left 'shaking in bed' for two days. He also took the opportunity in the post to reflect on some of his highlights from 2017, including the birth of his son. While posting a picture of himself in bed with Conor Jr he said:

"Well that was a wild New Year's Eve. Half the family hit with the Australian flu virus and some even left in hospital with it. I've never even been to Australia wtf. One of the most intense few days I've gone thru. Big New Year's Eve party cancelled at the last minute and I am left shaking in bed the past two days. I'll leave that with the rest of the bad behind me in 2017 and take with me the many great experiences I've had this year! None greater than the birth of my son Conor Jr. and the continued support of my family, my friends and my dedicated staff through thick and thin. Thank you all and Happy new year to everyone! 2018 I may go back to the back pages instead of the front pages again but I have a feeling these journalists now just want me in the obituary pages so we shall see. I will be ready for whatever comes. Be sharp and be fast this year because I am sharper and I am faster. God bless you all and Happy New Year!"
