Conor McGregor had Ultimate Fighter prospect give him hair cut days before crunch fight

Conor McGregor had one of his charges on The Ultimate Fighter give him an haircut as part of a bonding exercise days before his crunch fight.

The Irishman's top bantamweight seed Mando Gutierrez took on rival Michael Chandler's No.4 Cody Gibson, and was in the middle of his weight cut when McGregor stopped by the TUF house for a meeting with his group. And after having previously offered haircuts to the entire team, Gutierrez was called into action for his coach to get a trim.

Gutierrez, who entered the house at 8-2, was considered an underdog for his bout with the considerably more experienced Gibson, who had shared the cage with the likes of Aljamain Sterling during his initial UFC run. But he didn't show many nerves while chatting and bonding with McGregor over the outlandish activity.
