Conor McGregor is looking seriously jacked ahead of his rumored rematch with fellow UFC lightweight contender Dustin Poirier.<\/p>\n
McGregor and Poirier first met in the featherweight division in 2014, with McGregor winning by first-round knockout. Since then, both men have achieved massive success in the lightweight division, and in the last few weeks, have both expressed interest in a second fight. The pair even briefly floated the notion of a charity exhibition match in McGregor\u2019s hometown of Dublin.<\/p>\n
In response to the suggestion of an exhibition match, UFC President Dana White offered both McGregor and Poirier a legitimate fight in the Octagon, ostensibly creating a previously unplanned UFC card for the pair on January 23. Both claim to have accepted that offer.<\/p>\n
While McGregor and Poirier have had their best success in the lightweight division, the pair have expressed some interest in competing in the welterweight division and sparing themselves of a significant weight cut.<\/p>\n
If a recent Instagram post is any indication, McGregor is certainly ready to fight at welterweight, as he’s looking pretty hefty. See for yourself:<\/p>\n
