There's a time and a place for everything. In particular, there's time and a place to wear a pair of shorts, seemingly without any underwear, and a time and a place for pointing it out - in both cases, that time is not now. In fact, it's never.

Maybe you couldn't help but notice that when Conor McGregor posted pictures celebrating his son's birthday, decked out in a pair of tight white shorts, you got a bit more than you bargained for.

Well, sometimes you have to just try and ignore it, say nothing and keep your eyes focused on anything from the waist up.

The Mirror reported that the 29-year-old MMA fighter left little to the imagination as he enjoyed the warm weather with girlfriend, Dee Devlin, and their child, Conor Jack McGregor Jnr, on Saturday.

And onlookers couldn't help but notice the professional mixed martial artist's... erm, prominent endowment as he celebrated his boy's first birthday in Ireland.

The sportsman turned heads after he posted pictures on Instagram and we're shaking our head at you all. Grow up.

Fans were quick to comment on his bulge after the images surfaced. Are we going there? Yep, seems so.

One said: "That bulge is sick, bro...killing it with that monster". Another remarked: "Some balls you pack there, boss."

A third said: "I mean.... how do you think all those people felt the whole time trying NOT to look?".

And finally, thank heavens, a fourth added: "Can straight up see your whole package in the first photo! An accident or u going for this look in ur family pic?"

I don't think any of us really know how to feel about all this. Thanks for participating, though, everyone. 'That bulge is sick' may well go down as compliment of the year, in a 'thanks for the mental picture' sort of way.

All the poor bloke wanted to do was celebrate the milestone party. And some party it looked.

The happy family snaps were a stark contrast from Conor's antics from last month, when he was filmed attacking a bus carrying fighters in New York City.

He was charged with three counts of assault following an altercation at the Barclay Center.

McGregor was also charged with one count of criminal mischief by New York City Police Department (NYPD) following the incident.

At the time a UFC spokesperson said: "The organisation deems today's disruption completely unacceptable and is currently working on the consequences that will follow.

"UFC is working very closely with the New York Athletic Commission, Barclays Center security and law enforcement authorities."

And UFC President, Dana White, told a press conference: "The only one that's losing a belt here is Conor. Conor is losing the belt. These two are fighting for the belt.

"The interim these two were supposed to fight for, fight doesn't happen, now one of these guys will be the champion. Tony is still the number one contender."

Yeah, that's right, he was stripped of his Lightweight Belt. It seems he's coping though - seems there are other things holding his shorts up. *trombone slide*
