Conor McGregor and son wear matching purple suits for Super Bowl LIII

The UFC star was one of many famous faces in attendance

Conor McGregor knows a thing or two about making headlines, and while he was far from the main attraction in Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Sunday night, he still managed to turn a few heads.

With the stars out in force ahead of Super Bowl LIII, McGregor and his son, Conor  Jr, caught the eye as they were spotted wearing matching purple suits ahead of kick-off.

The New England Patriots, eyeing a record-equalling sixth Super Bowl win, take on Los Angeles Rams, last winners in 2000 when they were based in St. Louis.

McGregor and son, who were seen meeting comedian Kevin Hart, were both seen on the Patriots’ sideline, perhaps an indication of who they were backing on the night.

This isn’t the first time the UFC star has been pictured at an NFL game. Last October, shortly after his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, he was pictured taking in Dallas Cowboys’ home win against Jacksonville Jaguars.
