Conor McGregor arrived at the T-Mobile Arena with a new look ahead of his UFC 303 main event bout against Max Holloway: a mohawk. The fighter, who had a full head of hair and a beard for his weigh-ins and press appearances the day prior, debuted the hairstyle that he famously wore earlier in his career. McGregor was seen with the shaved head and hair on top, reminiscent of the style he sported in 2013 when he fought Marcus Brimage. That fight marked a turning point, helping to propel him from a regional competitor to a global superstar.
McGregor, accompanied by his manager Audie Attar, wore a full suit with a vest for his appearance. The Irish fighter weighed in at 170.5 pounds for the welterweight bout, a division unfamiliar to his opponent, Holloway. McGregor was hoping to recapture past success with his stylistic nod to his early career, though the outcome of the fight itself was not detailed in the provided notes.
