UFC fighter Conor McGregor has been spotted with his son at Mercedes Benz Stadium for the 2019 Super Bowl game.
McGregor was photographed rocking a bright purple suit with a pair of dress pants and shined-up shoes.
His young son, Conor Jack McGregor Jr., was adorably dressed in a matching outfit, and looked quite dapper.

McGregor is no stranger to NFL games, as following his big loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, The Notorious turned up at a Dallas Cowboys game, and even threw around a football.
The moment didn't quite go as planned, however, as the throw was less than stellar and many joked about it on the social media.

"Conor McGregor attempting to throw a football. I hear John Elway likes what he sees and is trying to set up a meeting on Tuesday," one person joked.
"Watching Conor McGregor try to throw a football night be the funniest thing I've ever seen," another Twitter user quipped.

"Livin my best life knowing I can throw a football better than Conor McGregor," someone else commented.
McGregor had a few defenders, however, many of which understood why he didn't put his all into the throw.
"Everybody hatin on [McGregor] for that throw. Y'all do understand that's a high priced one off 4 figure suit right? I wouldn't wanna rip it either," one fan jokingly explained. "Uncultured people."
On a side note: did anyone see Conor McGregor throw the football at the Cowboy’s game today? Definitely a “system QB”... I bet Belichick could still win a SB with him. #MadeYouFookinThink pic.twitter.com/cmkGWoFCbG

"Everybody hating on [McGregor] for his throw. That was just the aftermath of a bottle of [Proper12] Irish whiskey in the veins," another one of McGregor's fans commented.
Eventually McGregor commented on the ridicule being hurled at him, taking to Instagram to reply in a manner very reflective of his personality.
"Hahaha yous'r f—ing ruthless on this side. I just didn't want to rip my custom @augustmcgregor baby blue billionaire blazer. That was all, y'all," he wrote in a caption on an Instagram post. "Great job to the Cowboys today! It's a Proper giddy up tonight in Dallas and I LOVE IT, see yous soon."
