UFC middleweight Derek Brunson has joked that he wants to know Conor McGregor's trainer after watching the former lightweight bulk up to 190lb over the last year-and-a-half.
The Irishman last fought at 156lb in July of last year, and broke his leg during a trilogy bout with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 which has led to a lengthy stay on the sidelines. But he never stopped training his upper body, incorporating new workout routines into his regimen that didn't require him to use his injured leg.
And now that he is back operating at close to a full level, including walking, exercising and training with no assistance, McGregor has shown off a massive increase in size, which is rare to find in such a relatively short period of time. He has vowed to return to action at 170lb, but has previously claimed to be as heavy as 190lb, or 34lb heavier than his last weigh-in.
