Conor McGregor has replied to those mocking him for shaving off his beard with his iconic catchphrase.
The former two-weight UFC champion showed some serious commitment for Halloween, shaving off his entire beard to dress up as Frank Abagnale from the film Catch Me If You Can. The picture surprised fans as McGregor has always had a beard during his UFC career, as posted a picture of his new look alongside fiancee Dee Devlin and their three children with the caption: "The sky is the limit, come fly with me".
Fans went on to joke that the Irishman looks like a different person since going beardless, with one user quoting McGregor's own catchphrase by commenting: "Who the f*** is that guy hahahah who the f*** is that". Another wrote: "You look hilariously funny without a beard. Looking like a Disney movie train rider," with a third user adding: "Damn this man really shaved the beard for a costume."

"You look like a movie star without the beard," another pointed out to McGregor, who recently filmed his Hollywood debut as he stars in the remake of Road House next year. McGregor responded to those mocking his new look by posting a series of pictures of him on Instagram covering up his face with the caption: "F*** all yous talking bad about my beard ya’s’ll do nothin."
McGregor became infamous for his catchphrase "you'll do nothing" when clashing with Nate Diaz before their rematch in August 2016. Diaz walked out of the press conference and flipped McGregor off, with McGregor going on to issue the line before the pair started throwing water bottles at each other.
McGregor hasn't fought since breaking his leg against Dustin Poirier in their trilogy fight last July and has since piled on a lot of muscle as he eyes a comeback fight at 170lb next year. 'Notorious' suffered defeat to Poirier twice last year at lightweight, but will move back up to welterweight for the first time in three years having defeated Donald Cerrone in just 40-seconds in his last 170lb fight.
The Irishman joked that he's bulked up to the UFC heavyweight limit of 265lb since his injury in a recent Instagram Q&A, as a fan asked how much he weighs before McGregor responded: "I don't know mate but I am big. I'd say about 265lb in the bank." McGregor then continued the joke on his Twitter account by posting the clip of his weight update, with the caption: "Super heavy in the bank."
