Sean O'Malley rose to fame after he knocked out his opponent in Dana White's Contender Series 2 in 2017. Five months later, the bantamweight fighter made his UFC debut. The rainbow-colored hair-owner is 13-1 in his professional MMA career (5-1 in the UFC).

Sean O'Malley's hair varies from one degree of weirdness to another. 'Sugar' is a promising bantamweight UFC fighter, but his cheerios-like hairdo is one of the worst haircuts in UFC history. O'Malley once styled his hair to resemble a marijuana leaf.

Sean O'Malley has revealed it took him around 12 hours to prepare his hairstyle for his UFC debut. Speaking about the inspiration behind his eccentric hairdo, 'Sugar' said:

"One of my buddies told me that ‘You should do your hair like 6ix9ine. I don’t know if I will ever have normal hair again."

#1 - Heath Herring

Heath Herring fought in MMA promotions like Pride, K-1 and the UFC. While 'The Texas Crazy Horse' was in the UFC for a little over a year, his crazy hairstyle was good enough to land in the Hall of Fame of the worst haircuts ever. If you find yourself thinking about what is worse, Herring's nickname or hairstyle, it's the latter.

Given Heath Herring's varied and equally bad hairstyles, his nickname should have been 'The Texas Crazy Hair.'

Herring took a hiatus from MMA after losing to Brock Lesnar at UFC 87 in 2008. He made a comeback to the fight scene and made his debut at Rizin in 2016. However, to live up to his name, Heath Herring took a haircut from none other than Roy Nelson.
