We’ve seen McGregor put on some mass over the past few months, but recently he has been trimming back down.

Recently speaking to The Mac Life, McGregor revealed that he wants to return to the UFC in the Welterweight division and get a shot at the 170-pound Champion Usman.

He said: “I believe versus Usman for the 170-pound title for my comeback is the one I’m eyeballing at the minute. And I feel confident against Usman. A jab happy, sloppy, orthodox wrestler with no submissions whatsoever. What’s he gonna do? Where’s the danger here? I don’t see a danger with him.”
