Irish UFC star Conor McGregor's father Tony was rushed to hospital on Thursday following a heart attack that required surgery.
The 64-year-old Dubliner took ill on Thursday morning and was taken to the Hermitage hospital where he received treatment, including surgery for a stent.
In a positive update posted to his Instagram account, Tony McGregor shared a photo from his hospital bed saying: "Thanks to the cardio team, Hermitage.
"Heart attack in the morning, stent in the afternoon, sweet (and) sour chicken in the evening.
"See ya later suckers."
