WATCH: UFC Fighter Junior Albini's Shorts Look Like a Diaper

WATCH: UFC Fighter Junior Albini's Shorts Look Like a Diaper

Saturday's "UFC Fight Night" in Norfolk, Virginia, saw some intense, testosterone-fueled bouts featuring fighters at the top of their games. But when it was time for the heavyweight fight between Andrei Arlovski and Junior "Baby" Albini, heads were turning over Albini's fashion choices instead of his moves in the cage.


For you see, Albini's shorts seemed to live up to his nickname, as all anyone could see when looking at the white short shorts was a diaper:

For many, it looked like a giant, aggressive baby lumbering around:

And, try as they might, they just couldn't focus on the bout at hand:

Inevitably, the meme comparisons started rolling in:

Perhaps Reebok needs to rethink their line of UFC athletic wear:

After all, think of all the confused babies and concerned parents out there who were watching:

In the end, the diaper didn't work in Albini's favor, as Arlovski defeated him after a unanimous decision at the end of round 3.

Arlovski had a total of 106 strikes, 92 of which were considered significant, compared to 74 strikes and 48 significant strikes by Albini.

Perhaps Albini needed a nap at the end, or the judges could see that he was ready to take his bottle. Whatever their reasoning, it meant heartbreak for Albini and his fans.

After the Twitter attention, it'll be interesting to see what Albini chooses to wear the next time he fights. Does he don a pair of extra-long, "definitely not a diaper" shorts, or does he return to his "Baby" roots and rock the fashion choice that made him a social media sensation overnight? Time will tell.

In the meantime, don't ask anyone who was watching UFC on Saturday night to tell you who won, because they won't be able to:

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
