‘Who the f**k is that guy???’

Fans can’t work out whether it’s a Halloween trick or treat after seeing Conor McGregor without his iconic beard. The long, eventful Conor McGregor beard run is over.

The UFC star fully committed to his Halloween get up this year by making the decision to go clean shaven, revealing his hairless chin in a post on Instagram.

The post shows McGregor all dressed up for a night of trick or treating with his wife Dee Devlin and children Conor Jr, Croía and Rían.

McGregor is in a matching costume with his wife as pilots, and his children are dressed as a terrifying razor-toothed Huggy Wuggy bear, adorable fluffy lion and cute light-up fairy.

Conor McGregor’s next fight destination

In a second post, the MMA fighter revealed that he had been dressed up as Frank Abagnale from the film Catch Me If You Can.

It’s left many divided over whether the Irishman looks better or not without the facial hair. One thing is for sure, he certainly looks less menacing without his maniacal beard.

One Instagram user referenced one of McGregor’s famous lines by commenting: “Who the f**k is that guy hahahah who the f**k is that.”

There were some who enjoyed the new look though. One said it was “incredible,” whilst another said the fighter was “looking good without the drunken beard.” Someone else went as far to say that he actually looked like a “friendly guy.”

Who knows how long McGregor will decide to lose the beard for, but he’ll probably want the intimidating spruce back ahead of a possible rematch with Floyd Mayweather next year.

UFC president Dana White says ‘The Notorious’ must go into the US Anti-Doping Agency testing pool for a six-month stretch before returning to MMA. McGregor has since stated that he wants to return in March 2023.
