The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 31 is truly underway and fans seem to be in love with the show. With Conor McGregor and Michael Chandler at the helm, the show has seemingly become more and more relevant than the past few editions. While some initial results did not go his way, McGregor can be seen having fun in the broadcast. One such moment came when Conor got a haircut from one of the contestants.
Mando Gutierrez, a bantamweight contestant in the show, offered to give the people in the house a fresh trim. The Dublin Native took him up on the offer and wanted to get a new haircut and a fresh trim on his beard. Mando immediately understood what The Notorious was asking for and gave McGregor a new fade.

Speaking about the experience, the 34-year-old added, “I had a lot of fun, yeah. It was good. got a haircut, got freshened up. I let the hair down a little bit, we had a good time.”
Being back in the show after TUF 22, Conor has been enjoying his time in the house. However, fans do not seem happy about the situation. In the clip posted by the “FREAK MMA” Instagram account, fans absolutely demolished the first-ever UFC double champion. There were murmurs that a few fighters, including UFC welterweight fighter Gilbert Burns’ teammate got cut from the show to accommodate McGregror’s fighters.
User fabianstege hinted at that and wrote, “Bro kicked out 3 guys just to get his barber on the team.” Another user, lennoxxsalem wrote in a sarcastic manner, “Wow he’s getting a haircut guys look.” User romanmorgovskiy was seemingly frustrated to see any McGregor-related content and added, “… Why I gotta look at this microwaved Rat Conor. Waist of time , he’s over after Dustin broke his leg… or chicken wing.”

Is Conor McGregor going bald?
Conor McGregor has graced the Octagon in many hairstyles over the years. From a crew cut to the buzzcut to a high fade faux hawk, the former lightweight champ has experimented with a lot of hairstyles over the years. For his UFC 257 bout against Dustin Poirier, Conor even shaved his head completely while maintaining a beard. However, in recent times, there have been question marks regarding his hairline.
Lately, many fans have speculated that McGregor may have had a hair transplant to stop himself from going bald completely. It is evident that Conor has lost some hair on the back of his head. Some have even added that it was a result of Conor’s alleged steroid use to recover from the injury at UFC 264 in 2021. The claim picked up even more steam when fans found out that Conor did not have a single USADA test in 2022.
However, with McGregor looking to fight in 2023, he has reportedly joined the testing pool once more. So what are your thoughts on the matter of McGregor’s seemingly receding hairline? Let us know in the comments down below.
