Conor McGregor Shaves Off His Iconic Beard

by

Conor McGregor is someone that fans want to hear from right now, at least when it pertains to getting into the Octagon. It has been a very long time since we’ve seen him fight. Overall, this is due to the fact that he broke his ankle in half in his last fight. However, he seems to be doing just fine right now. Additionally, he has been teasing a fight with Michael Chandler. Unfortunately for fans, this fight has not been officially announced when it comes to a date and time. That said, fans are still hopeful it will get done.

Overall, Conor McGregor is one of the biggest stars that the UFC has ever seen. Having said that, it would certainly help the promotion if he could get back out there. Regardless, Dana White likes to take his time with things, so fans should come to expect these delays. In the meantime, however, McGregor has been enjoying his time as a father. For instance, according to TMZ, he was in Los Angeles this week with his youngest son Rian. Rian turned two years old, and Conor was happy to celebrate the occasion.

Conor McGregor Reveals His New Look

Moreover, in the TMZ video above, Conor McGregor was sporting an interesting new look. Typically, you can find the UFC fighter with a beard. It has been his signature look for a very long time. Very seldom does he actually shave the thing off and go with a smooth face. Well, for his latest trip out to Los Angeles, he opted to change things up. The beard is now gone, and you can probably thank the L.A. heat for that.

Whether or not this has any bearing on his abilities in the ring, remains to be seen. However, we imagine that it will not. Now, fans just want to know when he will be fighting Chandler. It’s a question a lot of people have been asking, and even Conor himself is probably curious. Let us know if you think McGregor would win, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news from the sports world.

Jake Paul Already Knows Who He Wants To Fight After Nate Diaz

by

YouTuber and professional boxer has started to make a name for himself in the world of professional fighting. At first, his boxing career was considered something of a joke by industry experts. His first fights came against YouTubers and retired athletes making their boxing debut. Even UFC great Anderson Silva came with an asterisk. Namely because a) Silva was 48 when he fought Paul and b) had just five boxing matches to his name. But then Paul earned a split decision loss against Tommy Fury, an actual boxer. Maybe Paul could find success after all.

Well, “maybe” is the operative word there. Paul’s next fight is an August bout with former UFC fighter Nate Diaz, who is making his professional boxing debut. What makes this fight different, however, is that while Diaz may not be tied top a promotion right now, he is not a retired fighter like many of Paul’s other opponents. The thing is, Paul is already looking past Diaz and planning who he might take on next.

Jake Paul has wanted to fight UFC legend Conor McGregor for a long time. As early as the second fight of his career, a win over retired NBA player Nate Robinson, Paul said he wanted to build up to face McGregor. He reiterated that during a conversation with ESPN at a presser for his fight with Diaz. “I see a road map where I knock out Nate and then go to Conor McGregor,” Paul said. “To do what Conor couldn’t do — knock out Nate — and then that’ll be the biggest fight in combat sports that could possibly be made.”

However, this lofty goal comes with a few caveats. Firstly, Paul will need to beat Diaz. That’s easier said than done as while Diaz is not a boxer, he is a tenacious and proud fighter. Without a win over Diaz, there’s little pedigree to attract McGregor. Secondly, McGregor still has two fights left on his current UFC contract. Those would likely have to be completed before McGregor was cleared for a fight with Paul. Thirdly, there’s the pecking order. Diaz has a better claim to a fight with McGregor given the mutual decision for a rubber match between the two in the Octagon. Furthermore, McGregor will reportedly fight UFC fan-favorite Michael Chandler in the second half of 2023. However, any fight cards will be found here on HotNewHipHop.

Conor McGregor Confronts Mike Perry After Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

by

Conor McGregor is prone to steal the show at any combat sports event he attends, even if he’s not the one fighting. Moreover, that’s exactly what happened Saturday night (April 29) at the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship, where Mike Perry fought against Luke Rockhold. After the latter got his teeth busted up and removed himself from the fight, Perry emerged victorious, but found another opponent instead. Furthermore, McGregor joined him on stage and they had a fake face-off during which the MMA star grabbed Perry’s BKFC belt. All in all, it seemed to be just a stare-down for fun, although McGregor obviously had some words to share, as well.

Of course, Conor McGregor lightly challenged Perry to a fight of their own, remarking how all he did was walk in there and grab the belt. “Come get it, baby!” he exclaimed after their showdown. As one of the most prominent figures in the combat sports world (who is out on injury right now), his antics make for a crowd favorite. As the match went on, he drank from his whiskey and toasted the crowd to uproarious cheers and applause.

Still, that broken leg from his 2021 fight with Dustin Poirier was a scary moment that left him thinking he’d never fight again.

The next move to take a peek behind Conor McGregor’s curtain is a Netflix documentary on the Irish fighter. Specifically, the documentary will reportedly highlight his return to the UFC octagon against Michael Chandler and also touch on his career as a whole.

With that, fans of Notorious should be incredibly excited for some more action and excitement from McGregor. In fact, hype around him is so big that he even recently appeared on Fox News as a guest. Time will tell how his comeback will pan out for his health and record. Regardless, it will be a massive event in the community that’s bound to bring a lot of corners of pop culture and sports together.

Conor McGregor Netflix Documentary Announced

by

Conor McGregor once thought he would never fight again. The MMA legend suffered a horrific leg break back in 2021 during his bout with Dustin Poirier. The injury led to an immediate stoppage of the fight. While McGregor was also taken into surgery soon after his arrival at the hospital. A moment like this would be dark for any person to have to go to. However, McGregor is ready to share with the world his return from such a tough injury.

On Tuesday, McGregor and Netflix announced a documentary that will follow McGregor’s challenge of returning to the octagon. The UFC star hasn’t been seen inside the cage since that horrific injury.

The Notorious one is coaching opposite Michael Chandler for the latest season. After the airing of the season, Chandler will welcome McGregor back to the UFC.

Conor McGregor Ready For Return

No MMA star has attracted a fanbase like McGregor. The former UFC champion brings an audience every time he steps into the cage. McGregor has been a part of some of the biggest moments in UFC history. Including his swift knockout of Jose Aldo back in 2015. The victory marked the first time McGregor would hold gold inside the octagon. But it wouldn’t be the last time. McGregor became a two-weight class champion in 2016 after defeating Eddie Alvarez for the lightweight title. A moment that cemented McGregor as one of the best in UFC history.

McGregor’s legacy has already been written. The Irish star is a surefire Hall-of-Famer. However, the comeback isn’t necessarily all about legacy. A fighter wants to prove they still have what it takes to step into the ring and face an opponent. The documentary is set to drop on May 17th on Netflix. Do you believe Conor McGregor will have a successful return to the cage when he faces Michael Chandler? Let us know your thoughts on McGregor’s return to the octagon.

Conor McGregor Speaks On Latest School Shooting

by

Conor McGregor gave his opinion on solving school shootings in America. After the recent tragedy in Nashville, many are looking for answers. A gunman entered The Covenant School in Nashville, killing six. The list of victims included three children and three adults. The gunman also died at the scene. Every time a situation like this happens, the American people demand answers. However, nothing has yet been done to create a safer environment for American children. But McGregor claims to have a solution.

The MMA legend believes that schools should have more armed guards. From TMZ, McGregor had a lot to say on the matter, “I have had my children at school here while stateside and have had my own armed guard present at the school. This was prior to the most recent school shooting also.” School shootings have continued to grow throughout the United States. With so many incidents happening as of late, these discussions have been popular on social media.

Conor McGregor Seeking Safer Environment For American Schools

McGregor wasn’t finished with thoughts on the situation. He also stated, “If she shot her way in to that school from the outside, my guard, who is tucked away, armed and unseen, would have seen her and taken her down. Saving those children’s lives.” The situation isn’t something that any family should have to go through. While many have their answers on how to solve the issue, McGregor believes in stronger security.

Mass shootings are a part of the culture in the United States. While politicians can’t seem to make a move on creating a safer space, citizens are taking it on themselves. Our thoughts are with those that had to deal with this horrifying incident in Nashville. No one ever wants to receive a call of this nature. How do you feel that America can solve this issue? Is there more than one correct answer? Let us know your opinions in the comment section below. For more of the latest news on sports and politics, stay with us here at HNHH.

Conor McGregor Continues To Show Off His New Physique

by

Conor McGregor is someone we have not seen in the Octagon for quite some time now. His last time in a UFC event was a complete disaster as he broke his ankle in a gruesome fashion. Overall, it was a pretty embarrassing ordeal that has had fans questioning the future of his career. However, McGregor has remained confident about returning to the UFC. In fact, he is now a coach on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter. Subsequently, this will lead to a fight against Michael Chandler, and fans are very excited.

Interestingly, no one knows what division this fight will be held under. This is because McGregor has put on a ton of muscle throughout his recovery. Although McGregor is not used to fighting at a higher weight, there is a chance that we could see a massive weight class jump for the star. That ultimately depends on Michael Chandler, who also gets a say in all of this. Either way, fans are just interested to see what McGregor can do at this stage of his career.

Conor McGregor On The Gram

As it turns out, McGregor is certainly feeling himself right now. In his latest Instagram post, McGregor made sure to show people what his upper body looks like these days. Overall, his arms are much bigger than they used to be, and his chest area isn’t the lean McGregor we are used to. Furthermore, McGregor’s confidence is off the charts as he offered the caption “I smell so good you moan a little if I hug you.” One has to wonder what fragrance he wears for him to think he’s getting that kind of reaction out of people.

In terms of his upcoming return to the Octagon, there is no doubt that he will attract a ton of attention. McGregor knows how to promote a fight, and this is going to prove to be a whole lot of fun. Whether or not he can still win decisively, remains to be seen. Let us know what you think of McGregor’s chances, in the comments below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.

Conor McGregor Gets NSFW On Fox News

by

Conor McGregor is certainly one of the most entertaining people when it comes to the fighting world. Although his actions and words have gotten him into trouble, he still continues to be himself. Overall, fans just want to see him back in the octagon. He will be fighting Michael Chandler soon, however, the UFC is trying to get the logistics down first. It will be a huge fight for McGregor, who desperately needs to get back in the win column, and fast.

In the interim, McGregor has been working on his charitable efforts. McGregor is someone who likes to give back, and there are a whole host of charities that he is interested in. One of these charities is Tunnels to Towers. For those who don’t know, this is a charity that donates to families of emergency workers who die while performing their job. It was created by Frank Siller, whose brother Stephen passed away while trying to save people on 9/11. Last night, McGregor was presenting Siller with a $1 million donation, and he did so while on Hannity.

Conor McGregor Apologizes

Overall, it was a fun appearance that certainly had the FCC ready to issue out some fines. In the clip above, McGregor had the Fox News censors working overtime as he dropped an f-bomb while speaking to Siller. “Frank, I’m honored to support you,” McGregor began. I wanted to say, your brother Stephen is a f***ing — excuse me, is a hero. He’s a hero. You’re a hero.” McGregor subsequently apologized, although Siller and Hannity didn’t seem to care all that much. After all, Fox News doesn’t exactly care too much for censorship, especially as it pertains to their own network.

As TMZ reports, McGregor has already donated a whole lot to this organization. In fact, he has raised about $3.7 million since the start of his career. Needless to say, this is a cause that is near and dear to his heart. Moving forward, we hope to see McGregor excelling in the octagon. If he does not win this upcoming fight against Chandler, then his career may be over. Stay tuned to HNHH for more news and updates from around the sports world.

Conor McGregor Reveals He Almost Died In Biking Accident

by

Conor McGregor is currently in the midst of getting back into shape for his return to the Octagon. At this point, no one is sure when he will officially come back. Overall, there is a lot of politics within the UFC, and Dana White has to navigate some matchup possibilities before making a decision for McGregor.

Although, you can tell that McGregor is ready for anything. In recent pictures, he has been looking more jacked than ever before. There is this real sense that he could end up in a higher weight class, especially with his new physique. However, nothing has been confirmed.

Conor McGregor Avoids Disaster

Unfortunately, McGregor’s comeback hopes could have been dashed earlier this morning. According to the UFC star on Instagram, he was hit by a car while on a bike ride. Thankfully, he was able to escape without any big injuries. However, he noted that he could have died.

“Got a bang of a car just now from behind. A sun trap, the driver couldn’t see me. Full speed straight thru me,” McGregor wrote. “Thank you God, it wasn’t my time. Thank you wrestling and judo also. Having an awareness on the landing saved my life.”

Based on the videos, it seems like the man who hit him stopped the car and offered some aid. In fact, McGregor was seen in the front seat of the car as his bike was being transported. Overall, everyone seems to be doing just fine, albeit a bit shaken up by everything that transpired.

Moving forward, McGregor will be focusing on his return to the Octagon. Let us know who you think he should fight, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH as we will continue to bring you updates from around the sports world.

Conor McGregor Responds To Recent Assault Allegation

by

Conor McGregor is currently facing an assault allegation from a woman who partied with the UFC fighter back in July. According to TMZ, the woman was kicked in the midsection and even punched. Additionally, McGregor threatened to drown her.

At the time of the alleged assault, he and a whole party of people were having a celebration on his yacht. This all took place in Ibiza as McGregor was celebrating his birthday. The woman, who remains nameless, says that McGregor made her fear for her life.

Conor McGregor Speaks

The allegation was made to Irish police, who are currently in the midst of investigating this. At the moment, McGregor has yet to be arrested, however, he has issued a statement through his publicist Karen Kessler. “Mr. McGregor is steadfast in his denial of all the accusations made by a guest on his boat,” the statement read.

Conor McGregor is someone who has been accused of assault on multiple occasions. Each time this has happened, McGregor has adamantly denied any wrongdoing. However, there have been times when his actions were caught on camera. One such instance was when he struck an old man in a bar.

Overall, this is a very bad look for McGregor who is trying to get back into the Octagon. However, he and his accuser will have to wait for the Irish police to conduct their investigation. From there, they can make their next steps. Considering the fact that this incident happened a few months ago, it could be a while before evidence is acquired.

At this time, this remains a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sports world.
