Conor McGregor has been branded "delusional" after declaring he will compete at a rare fourth weight class by moving up to middleweight later in his career.
The legendary former two-weight world champion is most famous for his title wins at featherweight and lightweight, but has already competed three times at welterweight. He plans to stay up at 170lb for his return to the octagon, but told fans on social media this weekend that he is going to move up to middleweight.
McGregor is just 5'9", which makes him a relatively small welterweight, and would class him as a tiny middleweight. And fellow fighter Renato Moicano, who competes in the Irishman's former lightweight division, tweeted in a thinly-veiled response: "Middleweight… Imagine being that delusional."
