CONOR Mcgregor has been slammed for encouragin­g his three-year-old son to punch a kid “in the mouth” as they relaxed on the beach.

The Notorious shared a video with his 39.9 million Instagram followers of a chat with Conor Jnr, who it seems had been hit by another child.

The former two-weight UFC champion could be seen showing him his medallion, as he said: “That’s the Mcgregor family crown, champ.

“This is the Mcgregor family crest. It’s a lion’s head with a crown on it because you are a king, champ. We are kings.

“Bash anyone that says anything, you hear?”

Father of two Mcgregor, who is holidaying in Dubai with his family, then asked his young son: “Did he hit did you? Where did he hit you? Hit him back. Hit him in the mouth. The Dublin star can then be seen kissing his son before saying: “I’m going to give you some boxing training, come on. Hands up.”

However, many fans were horrified with the fighter’s parenting techniques.

One said: “That’s not how you bring a child up, teaching him to smack children. Teach him to be kind and respectful.”

While another added: “Absolute disgrace he should be teaching his son good values. Hope his son doesn’t follow in his dad’s steps.”

A third disgusted fan said: “Lovely. Telling a kid to go for the mouth or nose to hit another kid. Great parenting, not!’

Another posted: “Wrong in a lot of ways. I’m not a parent but don’t teach your kid to go fight in the street. Teach your kid to be better than that.

“The bigger man walks away. Only use self-defence if you have too. Teach him that, champ.”

Mcgregor recently revealed partner Dee Devlin is expecting a baby boy and that the new arrival is due in a “few weeks”.

Only use self defence if you have to. Teach him that
