The former UFC double champion first introduced the buzz cut in 2016 where he went up against Nate Diaz for the first time. Even though he lost via submission in the second round, he avenged his defeat five months later at UFC 202. The buzz returned a year later when The Notorious One made his boxing debut against Floyd Mayweather in the Money Fight.
