Conor McGregor has shared images of himself sporting a shaved head just days after his fight with Michael Chandler was delayed.
The two men had been due to fight in Las Vegas on June 29, with McGregor yet to feature in the sport since losing to Dustin Poirier three years ago.
However, their showdown has now been pushed back with a new fight date announcement expected soon.
McGregor had kept a low profile since it was confirmed plans would have to be altered.
Yet the 35-year-old has now taken to Instagram to show off new images of himself.
McGregor has shaved his head, with the Irishman posing while holding one of his four children.
He captioned the post by saying: "Happy Father’s Day World."
And fans have responded to his change of appearance, with one user saying: "Bald mcgregor is back."
A second said: "I'm convinced there’s at least 10 Mcgregor clones."

A third stated: "Bro doing hair replacement instead of fighting Chandler."
A fourth said: "Yeah I’d pull out the fight if I had that cut too."
And a fourth said: "Man looks different every month."
McGregor said over the weekend that it was 'very tough' that his fight with Chandler has been delayed, having been looking forward to returning to UFC after a three-year absence.
"Very tough to be ruled out of my scheduled return bout," he said.
"I picked up an injury prior to the press conference that required more time to heal than was available to me.
"The decision to postpone the fight was not made lightly, but one made in consultation with my doctors, the UFC, and my team.
"My fans and opponent deserve me at my best for this fight and we will get there! Thank you for the messages of support, I am in good spirits and confident I’ll be back!"

A source has told the Daily Mail that McGregor had been determined for the fight to take place, with his ego tricking him into thinking he was ready.
"Ultimately, having to withdraw has lit a spectacular fire under his a** and he is more determined than ever to fight again this year and to reschedule his match with Chandler this fall," they're quoted as saying.

"Conor has been more injured than he would like to reveal but his ego made him think he would be able to pull it off and fight later this month.
"But alas, smarter heads prevailed when reality set in and as we got closer, Conor decided to get 100 per cent healthy instead so he could have a couple more fights over the years over losing it all in a few weeks."
