After becoming the featherweight champion of the UFC, McGregor was preparing for his welterweight debut against the star, Nate Diaz, in 2016. For this, the Irishman had trimmed his head and gone bald, which is his signature look since his debut.

It was then Helwani asked McGregor during a pre-fight press conference if the hairstyle was a throwback to the old self. I couldn’t help but notice and I apologize if I am looking too far into things,” Helwani said. 

“But you did shave your head after your last fight. And talking to your team, they said that this is sort of a throwback to the early Conor McGregor,” Helwani asked.

‘The Notorious’ responded by saying, Was looking in the mirror and going to wake up my hair’s f**king annoying me. See you later (while making a trimming sound).”
