Conor McGregor's fans are concerned that he will struggle to maintain his cardio within his UFC return, and will "gas out in 10 seconds".
The Irishman is coming to the end of his recovery from a broken leg suffered in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier in July of last year at UFC 264, and is currently shooting a film with Jake Gyllenhaal in the Dominican Republic. He has shared photos and videos flexing his muscles and showing off his considerable muscle gains, but will have to trim down for his octagon comeback.
McGregor insists that he will be returning at welterweight, as opposed to lightweight where he won the world title back in 2016 at UFC 205. But he is said to be around 190lb, which is almost a stone-and-a-half over the limit for the 170lb division, and would need to trim down his muscles in order to be able to survive a 25-minute MMA contest.
