Conor McGregor is known for changing weight classes and putting his body through extreme duress to gain the desired outcome. Many of his fans often worry about his physical well-being, especially after his recent horrific injury at UFC 264.
However, ‘The Notorious’ himself is never short on confidence. He rarely lets loose on his mindset and is always up for any challenge. Obviously, he loves to boast about his achievements and doesn’t care what people think about him.

It has become a personality trait for McGregor to divide opinions with every move that he makes. In a recent instance, the former UFC champ posted a transformation picture of himself in three different weight classes.
It didn’t take long before people started reacting to the picture, and some of them began trolling ‘The Notorious’.
McGregor has had a rough last few years and his detractors believe he is well past his prime. Some comments on his latest post are an example.
“Climbing the muscle mass ladder? Not climbing the Wins ladder. But all in all you’ve won in life so that’s all that really matters.”
“You are climbing the ladder brother, but in the downward direction. Not sure if that’s your best avenue for future success. Hope I’m wrong.”
“You’re a scrappy fighter with incredible speed. The added muscle doesn’t equate to wins”
“From champion to nothing, a really big climbing”
“The regression of a champ lol”
“Climbing weight divisions is all I see 🤣”

He said, “It’s about finding out which weight now you know I just don’t really see myself going back to 155 [pounds] again. I mean, I’m eating, I’m lifting, I’m training and I’m not cutting calories. So you know, this is my natural state. I can go even bigger, you know what I’m saying.”
McGregor also revealed that he wishes to go back to 170 pounds and challenge Kamaru Usman for the welterweight title.
