Conor McGregor surprises with new haircut before UFC disaster

The Notorious MMA fighter, less than 24 hours ago, had a full head of hair and a beard during his weigh-ins and press appearances ahead of his UFC 329 main-event spot against Max Holloway in which he lost in seconds after injuring his leg.

When McGregor fought in 2013 against Marcus Brimage, he rocked the mohawk that turned him from a regional fighter into a global superstar in short order.
