UFC commentator Jon Anik recently joked about a quirky trend he’s noticed among UFC fighters – many are showing up bald before their bouts. According to Anik, the reason isn’t just a bold new look, but rather hair transplants in Turkey.
During a lighthearted segment on the Anik and Florian podcast, Anik teased that a growing number of UFC fighters seem to be heading to Turkey, a country known for its affordable and high-quality hair restoration clinics. The joke quickly became a hit with fans, who are now keeping an eye out for freshly shaved heads in the Octagon.
Anik humorously claimed that he could name a fighter from each division who had undergone the procedure. He poked fun at the trend, joking that when Dustin Poirier or Brandon Moreno shave their heads, it’s not just for style, but to prepare for a trip to Turkey for a hair transplant.
Turkey has become a global hub for cosmetic surgeries, especially hair transplants, offering top-notch services at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.
While Anik had fun with the hair transplant topic, he also shared some personal insights into his own quirks as a commentator. He revealed that he intentionally avoids drinking too much water during UFC events to avoid bathroom breaks, as he can’t afford to step away from the action while calling the play-by-play.
Unlike color commentators who can take quick breaks during walkouts or promotional segments, Anik, who works solo, is glued to his seat all night. His solution? Staying dehydrated, even if it means skipping a drink to ensure he never misses a moment in the Octagon.
