Fans are concerned that Conor McGregor will struggle to maintain his cardio when he returns to the UFC, and will "gas out in 10 seconds".
The Notorious is coming to the end of his recovery from a broken leg suffered in his trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier over 14 months ago, 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, reports The Mirror.
