Conor McGregor touts 'Tour de France calves' as he shows off recovery progress

Conor McGregor boasted that he had 'Tour de France calves' and the grip of a 'velociraptor' in a bizarre string of late-night social media posts.

The Notorious took to Twitter to show himself doing what appears to be a calf raise exercise as he poses at home. In a string of strange posts, McGregor first compared himself to a dinosaur and then a Tour de France Cyclist.

Captioning the tweets, McGregor mentions his infamous leg-break in 2021. According to the Dubliner, he became fascinated with these exercises shortly after the injury. Having built up the strength in his injured leg, McGregor claimed that he now had the same toe grip as the creatures in Jurassic Park.
