Conor McGregor's footwork is something that is regularly praised when dissecting his striking in the UFC, but footage we had previously never seen before has emerged that suggests where the foundations for where those quick feet came from.

A user on r/Ireland uploaded footage from 1996 of a 7-year-old Conor McGregor participating in an exhibition of Irish dancing at what very much looks like a communion.

We've heard McGregor have a go at speaking 'as Gaelige' to TG4 before, but this latest slice of Irishness is bound to go down very well as McGregor, blonde bowl-cut and all, looks delighted to be involved.

McGregor has spoken about Irish dancing during his childhood in the past, we just never expected to see actual footage of it.

It's hard to look at that young fella and think that he would grow into the first two-weight world champion in the UFC, and one of the most famous people this country has produced, but there you are.

Thankfully, the suits have improved with time.
