At this moment, how much does he weigh? he notoriously responded by saying that he is approximately 265 and started laughing. Although McGregor has bulked up in the past year, fans will have been taken aback by this bold claim.
The story of Conor McGregor’s bodily transformation
McGregor has never fought in a division heavier than welterweight, which has a weight limit of 170 lbs. In fact, McGregor was just 2 pounds short of being qualified for the welterweight division at the time of his most recent contest, which took place in July 2021 against Dustin Poirier.
If McGregor’s most recent assertion is true, he will have to participate in the heavyweight division. This would be a significant three-class increase in just 15 months. Although weight category changes among UFC fighters are generally considered typical, a sharp rise in muscle mass is extremely uncommon.
However, this is not the first time that McGregor is said to have rapidly added considerable amounts of weight. According to a story from December 2021, McGregor’s trainer said the UFC fighter has put on two and a half stone (34 pounds) of muscle in just six months. The 34 year old has a height of 1.73m.

After breaking his leg in his fight with Poirier, the Irishman further asserted that he was merely lifting weights and that he weighed about 190 pounds in March 2022. Unquestionably, McGregor has put on a lot of muscle over the past 12 months. Nevertheless, it seems impossible to gain 75 pounds of muscle in six months.
When is Conor McGregor coming back to the UFC?
On his comeback to the UFC, McGregor will need to maintain his reported weight for a time if he intends to compete in the heavyweight division. McGregor will need to re-join the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and submit to regular testing for at least six months before he can resume competing, according to UFC Presidenite.

The earliest McGregor could fight if he joined the USADA programme this month is April 2023 because he is not presently a member. The UFC star’s team and himself may be the only people who actually know his exact weight up until that point.
