Conor McGregor has seemingly always linked himself with primates. Starting from the tattoo on his chest to the gym he goes to, all have one thing in common. And that similarity is the face of a gorilla. The former UFC double champion recently took to social media to flaunt his ‘higher primate’ physique, along with a statue of a chimpanzee. Without a doubt, the act ignited a fire in the hearts of the fans.

Previously, McGregor performed a couple of notorious acts that linked him to primates. He used a monkey face filter to hint at his return to the UFC. However, the recent pictures reveal that he indeed is ready to make his re-entry into the Octagon.

Fans give their opinion on Conor McGregor’s post

McGregor never leaves a chance to flaunt his massive gains. Recently, he shared a couple of pictures of himself on Twitter. However, the fans didn’t get intrigued by the former UFC champion, but by the photograph of a chimpanzee next to it. Undeniably, the ‘Mystic Mac’ closely associated himself with the idea of being a higher primate. 

The fans, in fact, did not fail to notice what the ‘Notorious’ was trying to say. Although many of the fans declared that they wished to see the fighter back in action, many others seemingly took his hype a notch higher. Furthermore, some of the fans wondered why the fighter posted a picture of the chimpanzee.

The response had McGregor trapped in a box while Nurmagomedov was trying to topple it over. Hilariously, it was a bear with Nurmagomedov‘s face photoshopped on it.

Conor McGregor once scared the fans with a filter

A couple of months ago, the Dubliner shared a video wherein he hinted about his return to the arena. However, the video amassed fear and bashings from the netizens. McGregor put on a monkey face filter and said, “I told you I’ll be back.” Although the tweet was deleted, it indeed caught quite a bit of attention.

However, the coach at SBG, John Kavanagh, revealed the real reason behind the filter. He responded to the tweet by saying, “SBGorilla”. McGregor trains at the SBG (Straight Blast Gym), which has the face of a gorilla as the logo. Thereby, Kavanagh’s response seemingly declared that the act was intended to represent the Irish fighter’s gym. 

Nonetheless, McGregor is yet to confirm a date for his return to the UFC. While he keeps his fans itching and teased, he seemingly trains and puts on a boatload of muscle mass. Without a doubt, he intends to go to a higher-weight class.
