Vatican hosts Baptism of Conor McGregor’s son

St Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican was the site of Conor McGregor’s newborn son, Rían’s, Baptism last weekend.

The fighter’s family were said to have arrived at the Vatican in minibuses, entering through a door that leads directly to the Choir Chapel, where baptisms can take place inside the Basilica.

It is often a lengthy process to secure a Baptism at the Vatican, requiring contact with one’s local bishop, as well as the St Peter’s Basilica administration.

Permission also needs to be gained from the parish priest of the home parish for the Baptism to take place outside their parish.

The family appeared to take time to admire the Basilica following the ceremony before departing.

However, Mr McGregor has been accused of punching a well-known Italian DJ in the face following the event.

It was reported that the police were called to St Regis hotel in Rome after the UFC star allegedly got into a fight with musician Francesco Facchinetti, who took to Instagram with his wife to show off his injuries.
