Conor McGregor shows off new look as UFC return speculation mounts

Conor McGregor has shared his new look as speculation mounts that he could be set to make a UFC return in the new year.

The former two-weight UFC champ is seen sporting a shaved head as he shared a snap from the gym on Instagram.

It's not the first time fans have caught a glimpse of McGregor with short hair, the 32-year-old rocked the look for much of 2016 and 2017.

It comes after reports last week that the Dubliner could be on his way back to UFC, with Dana White claiming he could return in the the new year.

The Notorious announced his shock retirement earlier in the summer, claiming he had become disillusioned with the sport that propelled him to fame as no fight excited him enough to return to the cage.

However, White has revealed that he has been in contact with McGregor over a potential return to the octagon.

“We’re actually working on some fun stuff for Conor at the beginning of next year,” White told ESPN's SportsCenter.

“He should be back next year. I’m not saying he’s coming back to fight guaranteed, but we’re talking right now about some stuff.”
