Conor McGregor responds to question over his weight after bulking up to 190lb

Conor McGregor has boasted of having a "huge" neck after the UFC star bulked up during his time out of the cage.

The Irishman broke his leg in a second consecutive defeat by Dustin Poirier last year and has been going through a rehabilitation programme to prepare for his comeback. During the early stages of his recovery, McGregor was only able to lift weights which saw him bulk to a huge 190lb which he displayed on his social media by showing off his new ripped physique.

Fans had questioned what McGregor's new weight means, which he has since confirmed will likely signal his return at 170lb instead of his previous fights at 155lb. One fan asked McGregor on Twitter : "What the f*** happened to your neck?" McGregor quickly hit back: "It got huge."
