UFC star Conor McGregor sends fans into a frenzy with a VERY revealing Instagram post to celebrate his 36th birthday
- Two-weight former world champ has set tongues wagging
- Fight fans were quick to comment on feature of his photo
- Injury ruined McGregor's comeback fight in Dublin
Former UFC world champion Conor McGregor has raised fight fans' eyebrows by sharing a startling photo of himself to mark his 36th birthday on Sunday.
The ex-featherweight and lightweight king of the Octagon posted a pic of himself wearing a pair of swimming trunks as he flexed his muscles on the deck of a yacht at Ibiza, accompanied by the caption, '36, in some nick'.
But it wasn't the Irishman's bulging biceps that caught fans' attention; they flooded the post with comments about McGregor's manhood, which was prominently displayed in the shot.
'Only Fans birthday,' wrote one commenter, with another adding, 'Happy birthday big fella.'
'Buddy packing a hog,' another fan said, while a fourth wrote, 'Dude can you put that thing away there's like children here'.
Other comments included, 'Stop putting socks in ya undies,' 'Do you have a cup on?', 'This is not onlyfans Conor', 'Happy birthday BIG', 'Bro it's in the middle of my screen put it away', 'It's staring at me' and 'put some pants on'.
McGregor's long-awaited return to the UFC was put on hold last month when his fight with Michael Chandler was called off because he'd suffered an injury.
That led to former MMA fighter Chael Sonnen hinting that 'The Notorious' actually pulled out of the fight because he had checked into rehab for alcohol and substance abuse.

McGregor's camp strenuously denied the claim, telling DailyMail.com: 'Mr McGregor is with his family.
'The fight was cancelled after an injury he sustained during training. He is looking forward to a new date.'
While Sonnen didn't name McGregor directly, there can be no doubt who he was talking about as he dropped several references to McGregor's 'Proper Twelve' whiskey brand.
In a conversation about the postponed fight with Daniel Cormier, Sonnen spoke about how both Chandler and McGregor have promoted alcohol during their careers.
'What incredible irony that both sides have these massive interests in alcohol, and one side is in the middle of rehab for substance abuse, including alcohol,' he said, before sarcastically stroking his chin and adding: 'Not that that has anything to do with this,' during an appearance on ESPN.

McGregor published a statement about the fight being off, saying: 'Very tough to be ruled out of my scheduled return bout.
'The decision to postpone the fight was not made lightly, but one made in consultation with my doctors, the UFC, and my team. My fans and opponent deserve me at my best for this fight and we will get there!'
He also took a break from his birthday celebrations to praise former US President Donald Trump after the attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania on Sunday.
'A 78 year old multiple billionaire he should be on a yacht on the med touring golf courses,' McGregor wrote.
'But he is not. He is in Pennsylvania spitting out bullets! Running for the love of his country! God speed Donald! God bless the United States.'
