Photo: Conor McGregor Looks RIPPED For Move To Lightweight
Featherweight champion Conor McGregor said that he’d be the bigger fighter in his lightweight championship bout against Rafael dos Anjos at UFC 197 on March 5, and from the looks of a recent photoshoot, he wasn’t kidding.
McGregor, who declared that we’ve ‘seen him on the salads, now we’ll see him on the steaks’ at last week’s UFC 197 press conference, has apparently been enjoying not having to put his body through the taxing cut down to featherweight’s 145-pound limit. He posted photo to his Instagram account of him looking rather huge and ripped in preparation for his bid to become a two-division champ.

Apparently the move up has treated him quite well:
‘The Notorious’ already began needling dos Anjos that he was the bigger man at 5-foot-9 with a 74-inch reach, as the surging 155-pound champ is indeed 5-foot-8 with a 70-inch reach.
And right now, it appears that McGregor has the upper hand in muscle mass, as well. Will that propel him to a never-before-seen title win at UFC 197?
