Conor McGregor looks bigger than ever now

Now, he is set to return later this year following almost two years out with a brutal leg break.

In his period of recovery, McGregor has evidently piled on muscle and looks bigger than ever.

And that was evidence in a transformation post he shared dating back from 2013 to present day.

He captioned it: “Featherweight to super heavyweight.”

McGregor, now 34, won the featherweight title within two years in the UFC and in 2016 he added the lightweight crown to his collection.

In doing so, he became the first fighter in UFC history to reign over two divisions at the same time.

McGregor has also fought as high as welterweight before, in two classic bouts with Nate Diaz, 38, in a rivarly tied at one apiece.

For his 2020 comeback bout, he also fought Donald Cerrone, 40, up in the 170lb division.

But what followed were two lightweight losses to Dustin Poirier, 34, the man he initially beat at featherweight in 2014.

The most recent of those defeats came in July 2021, when McGregor broke his leg in the opening round.

He is now set to return against Michael Chandler, 37, later this year although no date, venue or weight has yet been confirmed.
