Conor McGregor‘s recent posts on social media saw him gain a considerable amount of muscle. His return has always been a hot gossip since getting ruled out of action due to a knee injury. Conor McGregor has been teasing a UFC return in a move to the middleweight division. The Irishman has already competed in the featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight divisions.

McGregor posted several tweets talking about competing in a new weight division. In one tweet, he posted, “I’m gonna give middleweight a got at some point 100%. I’m a big fridge at middleweight. But hot like oven same time, ye know yourself, catch it on PPV. Don’t know tho. It’ll be hard work. Those rounds against those middle/light heavyweights, they were alternating fresh each round. I’ve put in psycho work doing this job over the years.”

McGregor later deleted the tweets.

The former two-division champion demanded that the fans should give him the proper respect for all of his UFC achievements. It would surely help him to compete in a new division. He’d be the third fighter to compete in four weight classes after Kenny Florian and Diego Sanchez.

UFC fighters take a dig at Conor McGregor

Some UFC fighters have taken a jibe at McGregor‘s tease at a middleweight debut. UFC middleweight Kelvin Gastelum made a post that implied Conor would be a perfect “punching bag” for middleweight fighters instead of being a “fridge“.

This tweet was in response to McGregor calling Gastelum a ‘small’ middleweight in an interview a few months earlier. Another UFC fighter, Renato Moicano chuckled at Mystic Mac’smiddleweight debut. He called McGregor ‘delusional’ after his deleted tweets during UFC Vegas 66. “Middleweight…imagine been that delusional #mma,” tweeted Moicano. The Brazilian fighter had recently expressed his desire to fight Conor McGregor.
