Conor McGregor stuns fans by claiming family link to Kim Kardashian
Two of the most recognisable surnames in sport and entertainment unexpectedly collided after Conor McGregor made a jaw-dropping claim about his family roots. The former two-division UFC champion sent fans into a frenzy after suggesting that his lineage is connected to the Kardashian family, one of the most famous dynasties in popular culture.
McGregor recently appeared on a Roblox livestream alongside his eldest son, and the session quickly took on a life of its own. True to form, the Irishman caused immediate chaos, forcing the host to apologise after he swore within moments of joining the stream. Viral clips later showed McGregor struggling to master the game, poking fun at his avatar and joking that it resembled rapper Ice Spice.

McGregor opens up about his ancestry on livestream
The most talked-about moment arrived when McGregor’s son was asked if he knew Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s son, Saint. McGregor immediately jumped into the conversation and dropped a revelation few saw coming. According to him, the McGregor and Kardashian families are linked by blood.
McGregor explained that his family tree traces back to Robert Roy McGregor, an ancient Highland warrior from the McGregor clan. He went on to claim that the Kardashians share the same ancestral connection, adding that members of the famous family have attended some of his fights in the past. The comments were delivered with a smile, leaving fans divided on whether it was a serious revelation or classic McGregor showmanship.
The claim spread rapidly online, blending MMA fandom with Hollywood intrigue. While there has been no independent confirmation of the connection, it once again highlighted McGregor’s ability to dominate headlines without stepping inside the Octagon.
Away from the viral moment, McGregor continues to be a hot topic for sporting reasons too. Many fans still regard his demolition of Eddie Alvarez at UFC 205 as one of the most flawless performances in UFC history, a bout that is frequently debated whenever the greatest displays in the promotion are discussed.
Attention is now firmly shifting toward McGregor’s long-awaited return. The 37-year-old has not fought since suffering a broken leg in July 2021, but he is deep into preparations for a comeback. He has hinted strongly that his return bout could take place this summer on a historic UFC card at the White House, an event expected to be hosted during Donald Trump’s presidency.
Talk of a clash with Michael Chandler has intensified in recent weeks, with McGregor teasing that the fight is already agreed. If it does happen, it would finally deliver one of the most anticipated matchups in the UFC, fuelled by their rivalry as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter.
Whether he is uncovering surprising family connections or teasing a blockbuster return, McGregor continues to prove that few figures in combat sports can capture attention quite like him.
