Conor McGregor is one of the most famous and successful mixed martial artists of all time. He has won titles in two weight classes, headlined some of the biggest pay-per-view events in history, and earned millions of dollars from his fights and endorsements. He is also known for his charismatic personality, trash-talking skills, and flashy lifestyle.
Is Conor McGregor Aging Badly Due to HGH and Steroid Use?
Recently, some fans have noticed a change in his appearance that has sparked a wild conspiracy theory. According to some online commentators, McGregor is aging badly and has a noticeably increased head size, which they attribute to rampant steroid and human growth hormone (HGH) use.
The conspiracy theory went viral after a Deontay Wilder loss reaction video interviewing McGregor about his thoughts on the shocking loss to Joseph Parker. In the video, McGregor is seen giving his opinion on the outcome. He praised Wilder for finding peace mentally, and explained that he felt that Wilder should have let his hands go during the fight, instead of being cautious.
However, many fans were more interested in McGregor’s face than his words. In the comments section of the video, many people expressed how they felt McGregor looked ten years older than his actual age of 35. His nasolabial folds, eye bags, wrinkles, and frown lines had all increased significantly in the past few months, which might be why people think he looks at least 45 years old.
Some fans suggested that McGregor might be aging rapidly due to using HGH and steroids, which are banned substances in the UFC. Scientifically speaking, these drugs can have negative effects on the body, such as accelerating the aging process, causing acne, hair loss, mood swings, and organ damage.
However, natural things like stress can also accelerate aging, and McGregor probably lives a stressful lifestyles considering all the businesses he owns, the public appearances he has to make, and most importantly being a good parent, could it be possible that he is aging rapidly naturally?
Is Conor McGregor’s Increased Head Size Due to HGH and Steroid Use?
Some fans also pointed out that it seems the size of McGregor’s head has increased in the past few years, which they feel could be another sign of HGH and steroid use. They cited examples of other athletes who have been accused of having enlarged heads due to doping, such as Barry Bonds, Lance Armstrong, and Alistair Overeem.
Scientifically speaking, HGH can cause acromegaly, a condition that results in abnormal growth of the bones, especially in the face, hands, and feet. The fan is theorizing that Conor McGregor is suffering from HGH induced acromegaly.
However, it’s also possible that the tightness of his suit was making his head appear bigger than it really is in the footage. The angle and level of the camera could have also possibly played in part in creating a skewed ratio.
Of course, there is no concrete evidence that McGregor is using any of those substances, or that he is suffering from any health issues. It remains a social media conspiracy theory based on circumstantial evidence.
Whether or not the conspiracy theory is true, it is clear that McGregor still has a lot of fans who support him and admire him for his achievements. He also has a lot of critics who doubt him and question his integrity. But one thing is certain: he knows how to generate attention and controversy wherever he goes, that’s what makes a legendary superstar.
