Tony, who is originally from Liverpool, got Conor into sports at a young age and is the one who first introduced him to kickboxing. TMZ reports that Conor, 35, visited his dad in the hospital to provide support alongside several other family members.

Although he has been out of action for nearly three years since losing to Dustin Poirier and suffering a leg injury in July 2021, Conor is scheduled to return to the Octagon to fight Michael Chandler in June.

The UFC star recently made his acting debut, appearing alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in director Doug Liman's new remake of the 1989 cult classic film Road House.

Conor sparked concern for his well-being after appearing sweaty, jittery, and overly animated in an erratic, rambling interview promoting Road House at SXSW that went viral earlier this year.

The high-profile fighter has been no stranger to controversy in recent years. He has been arrested for driving offenses, smashing a fan's cell phone, and assaulting a man at a pub. The Miami Heat cut ties with him after he was accused of assaulting a woman during game 4 of the NBA final last year.
