While Conor McGregor previously fought in the 155-pound division, recent indications suggest he’s now weighing upwards of 180 pounds.
Following his leg injury at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in 2021, McGregor underwent a significant transformation, gaining considerable size and muscle during his recovery period. By December of the same year, he openly stated he weighed around 195 pounds.
Maintaining a similar physique for his film role in the action movie ‘Road House,’ which finished filming several months ago, coupled with his statements about returning as a middleweight to the UFC, suggests McGregor’s weight has remained relatively stable in recent months.
According to a recent report by Low Kick MMA, McGregor’s current walk-around weight ranges from 180 to 200 pounds.
Throughout his MMA career, McGregor has competed in three weight divisions. He holds the distinction of being a former UFC two-division champion, having secured titles in the featherweight and lightweight categories, and has also fought at welterweight on three occasions.
In his announcement for the New Year, the 35-year-old revealed plans for his comeback fight against Michael Chandler at 185 pounds.
While some view McGregor’s assertions as mere attention-grabbing, others believe he genuinely aims to make history by triumphing in four UFC weight classes.
Adding a layer of uncertainty, during the post-fight press conference at UFC 298, Dana White expressed doubts about McGregor’s return, citing the fighter’s financial success as a complicating factor in securing his comeback.
