Conor McGregor is having some tough times right now, as Nikita Hand’s case has brought major change to his life. Many businesses that once chased him for an endorsement have now cut ties with the former UFC double champ to save their reputation. However, not many businesses feel the same, as a few are still open to the idea of him endorsing their brands, one of which just got a shoutout from ‘The Notorious’ on his Instagram.

Amidst reports that McGregor now wishes to move to the U.S. after feeling ‘betrayed’ by his country’s court, it looks like he has now found an incentive to stay. Taking to his Instagram, the Irishman uploaded a picture of himself enjoying some leisure time at the Stop N Glow tanning salon. Promoting their brand through the picture, fans also get to see a much happier Irishman who has also colored his hair blonde!

Yes, you read that right. McGregor is looking to bring some major change to his life. So rather than directly changing his home country, the Irishman is taking some baby steps and has started by coloring his hair first. Maybe his second major change would be to change his status as an ‘inactive’ fighter on the UFC roster. After all, fans are waiting for the return of the Mac inside the Octagon that he once ruled.

However, while fans do miss seeing him in the UFC, it doesn’t mean that all Conor McGregor is getting from them is love and support. Especially when one goes blonde and uploads a picture from inside of a tanning booth. As expected, the internet community soon went into a frenzy, and before you know it, the former UFC double champion became a laughingstock in the comments. So what did the fans say? Let’s find out!

Fans mock the latest developments in Conor McGregor’s life

As soon as Conor McGregor uploaded the photo on the internet, fans were quick to share their reactions to it. While the Irishman must’ve thought he would be flooded with a positive response, little did he realize that the green tanning booth he was sitting in looked a lot like a prison cell. So, seeing that the Irishman has found himself on the wrong side of the law in recent times, it didn’t take long for fans to laugh about some prison time for McGregor. They wrote in the comments, “Thought he was in his jail cell for a minute [laughing emoji].” Other comments along the same line read, “Thought bro was in rich person jail for a sec,” and “Damn… this post hits different after a guilty verdict.“

However, not everyone was fixated on the idea of a jail cell, as many fans wanted him to be inside the Octagon instead. In recent times, Dana White has stated that the Irishman may make a return in the coming year, but as of now, no formal announcement has been made. But seeing the former double champion constantly endorsing brands and partying is giving no hope to fans about his return in 2025 either. So, taking to the comments, fans mocked how he might be afraid of a return and would do anything in the world except train for a comeback fight. They commented, “Bro doing everything but getting in the ring,” “Come back and fight Chandler already,” and “PTSD won’t let him fight again lol. [laughing emoji]“

While Conor McGregor’s fighting career remains a speculation, one certain thing is that the blonde look stands out when it comes to the Irishman. Long gone are the brown hair that he styled in different ways. So talking about the elephant in the room, many fans joked about this sunny side look of the Irishman. This fan brought the trending comment of GTA 6 into the mix by writing, “We got blonde McGregor before GTA 6,” while another user believed that this version of McGregor would be an unlockable character in future UFC games, “New legendary fighter unlocked! Platinum McGregor!” What do you think of McGregor’s new look? Do you believe he will return anytime soon? Let us know in the comments.
