It won’t be wrong to say that this is the best Mcgregor has looked since a very long time. Mcgregor’s last outing at the welterweight division came against Nate Diaz at UFC 202. He won the fight via majority decision but had a hard time fighting the Stockton native.
There are a lot of factors that affected Mcgregor’s performance at 170. He jumped divisions, after a scintillating victory against Jose Aldo for the featherweight championship. Additionally, he switched from featherweight to welterweight in three months to face Diaz for the first time at 170 at UFC 196.
Looking at Conor Mcgregor today, coming back from a hiatus, he looks better than ever. Mcgregor doesn’t seem too keen on dropping weight again and looks incredibly fit for his welterweight return. He looks naturally built, and the year off has made him look better and more efficient ahead of his much-anticipated return.
Here’s a look at Conor Mcgregor ahead of his fight against Donald Cerrone at UFC 246.
