Your support makes all the difference.UFC star Conor McGregor is known for his extravagant ways, whether it's his pre-fight antics or living it up and yacht-scouting in Ibiza.
And the party he threw with his 29-year-old girlfriend Dee Devlin for their son Conor Jr's christening was no exception.
According to MailOnline, the ceremony and celebration took place at the exclusive 560-acre Luttrellstown Castle near Dublin — the same location where David and Victoria Beckham got married.
They invited more than 100 guests, including McGregor's coaches John Kavanagh and Owen Roddy.
McGregor shared photos of the occasion to his 20.6 million Instagram followers on Monday.
He titled the photos "Mac Land," the name of the fantasy world he created for Conor Jr.
Conor Jr certainly seemed amazed by the whole thing.

McGregor and his family have truly been living life to the fullest since he lost the heavily anticipated boxing rules mega-fight against Floyd Mayweather in August.
As part of a holiday in Ibiza, McGregor — who was enjoying life aboard boats and yachts himself — spotted the £360 million "Sailing Yacht A," one of the largest private sailing yachts in the world owned by Russian billionaire Andrey Melnichenko, sailing in the crystalline waters of Formentera — and he shared his experience scouting out the yacht with his Instagram followers.
