LAS VEGAS – For some MMA fighters, being well groomed is pivotal to fight week going as smoothly as possible. As former UFC two-division champion Conor McGregor once said, “Look good, fight good.”
Noted Las Vegas barber Elliott Chester does his best to assist in that aspect, frequently servicing some of the biggest names in the sport.
“I take a lot of pride in making that part of their fight week and their fight night a good experience,” Chester told MMA Junkie from his Elliott and Co. barbershop. “Make sure that they look good so that they feel good.”
Chester’s history dates back to the days of the now-defunct WEC organization and carries into midnight requests for McGregor when “The Norotious” was at the height of his stardom.
The likes of Israel Adesanya, Chan Sung Jung, Walt Harris, and more have also enlisted Chester’s services.
How did the barber get connected to some of the UFC’s biggest stars? Who is his favorite to work with? Whose beard would he especially love to trim up?
Chester answers those questions and more in the video featured above.
