Bellator star Peter Queally insists his close friend and training partner Conor McGregor is looking "phenomenal" after packing on 40lb ahead of his UFC return.
The legendary former two-weight world champion has been training with Queally since he was a featherweight, and is now believed to tip the scales at around 195lb. And the former Bellator lightweight title contender believes McGregor will be a different animal at welterweight now, as opposed to his previous three efforts at 170lb.
McGregor fought Nate Diaz twice at welterweight in 2016, before moving down to lightweight to win his second world title, before briefly returning for a bout with Donald Cerrone in 2020 which he won in just 40 seconds. However, when he fought Diaz he was jumping up two weight classes on a few weeks' notice, and wasn't a true welterweight, as Queally says he is now.
