Conor McGregor is going through the recovery process after suffering a foot injury in the trilogy bout against Dustin Poirier. Since, then, many pictures of the former two-division UFC champion, looking enormous, have come out.

Now, ‘The Notorious’ answered how much weight he has gained. Also, he talked about which UFC championship he aims to get upon his comeback.

In an interview with Severe MMA at Bellator 275 in Dublin, ‘The Notorious‘ talked about his weight. Though he didn’t give away his exact current weight, he revealed that he is not restricting his diet.

McGregor also talked about the weight categories he is looking at, for his return. He said, “I’m not sure yet to be honest. I’m not sure yet. 170, 155, [or] 170 I’d imagine.”

Also, McGregor showed his attentiveness to what’s going on in UFC’s lightweight division; He acknowledged that he is aware of his bitter rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov‘s teammate, Islam Makhachev fighting this weekend.

With McGregor eyeing a return somewhere around July, it would be interesting to see what weight division he chooses.

Meanwhile, in the lightweight division, his chances for fighting for the title eclipsed when the originally scheduled pivotal matchup, between Beneil Dariush and Islam Makhachev, in the main event of this weekend fell apart.

One of the toughest divisions in the UFC doesn’t have a clear-cut number one contender after Charles Oliveira fights Justin Gaethje. Apart from Islam Makhachev, most of the fighters are either on a losing streak, have injuries, or already fought for the UFC gold in recent times.

Even though Makhachev has the longest winning streak in the division apart from the champion himself, he still has a lot to prove in the lightweight division against the top five fighters. On paper, beating an unranked Bobby Green shouldn’t warrant him a title opportunity.

Thus, if Charles Oliveira continues his win streak at UFC 274, he would look to cash the opportunity against Conor McGregor. With the bout having a natural ‘McGregor vs Brazil 2’ flavor, it would be a massive event at the box office.
