Conor McGregor mocked Tony Ferguson for his drastic change in body shape as his old rival prepares to move up to welterweight at UFC 279 this weekend.
Ferguson will face Li Jingliang at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas tomorrow night as he makes the step up from lightweight, where he was once the interim champion. The American has been struggling to get back to form at 155lb since losing his interim title fight with Justin Gaethje in May 2020, and was viciously knocked out by Michael Chandler back in May.
But he returns against a formidable, if less explosively dangerous, opponent on Saturday night, although McGregor was unimpressed with his new physique. Sharing a photo comparing his pre-fight photoshoot from this week and the week he fought Chandler, McGregor sent a pair of crying laughing emojis before deleting the post quickly.
