Conor McGregor will become a dad with partner Dee DevlinGetty Images
He does not want to bring up a child while still fighting – and has demanded a share in the £3billion business.
Irishman McGregor, 28, is UFC’s biggest star and wants a big financial slice of its expanding empire.
His stock will rise further after his devastating left-right combo in round two sent Alvarez crashing to the canvas.
But even if he does not get it, McGregor hinted he could quit anyway once he becomes a dad for the first time.
He said: “I’m going to be a daddy next year. I’m crapping my jocks, I’m not even going to lie.
“I don’t even know what way to take it, it’s going to mess with my head. I don’t want to be bringing a child into anything like this.

“I don’t want no celebrity-type s****, I hate all that. I don’t want my family to be like that. So that’s kind of a little thing in the back of my head.
“I’m going to have this baby, take a little bit of time off and see what way I feel after that.”
McGregor’s rapid rise to fame has in part helped the company run by Dana White grow into a multi-billion pound empire.
And now the Dublin-born millionaire has made it clear he deserves a reward for driving its expansion – otherwise he will leave.
