PIC: This is surely the most ripped Conor McGregor has ever been

The Featherweight champion has packed on the muscle going into his lightweight bout.

One of the biggest talking points during the weigh-ins before his featherweight clashes, was just how gaunt, comparative to his usual size, Conor McGregor would look before each fight. He needn't worry about such a dramatic weight cut (which he has always admitted to loathing) ahead of UFC 197 when he faces Rafael dos Anjos for the UFC Lightweight Championship. McGregor has been basking in his new division and, as well as a new haircut, he's also been developing a fresh physique. Take a gander here because he's never looked so impressive and intimidating.
