Conor McGregor is a name that probably every MMA fan knows. He is undoubtedly the biggest star ever created by the UFC. The Irishman was also a former two-weight division champion in the UFC. A feat very few have been able to achieve. McGregor’s furious, left-hand strikes are known for shutting the lights out of opponents very early into a fight. He is also a brutal trash-talker on the mic who often crumbles his opponents mentally through his trash-talking. McGregor is also well-reputed to be a thorough social media enthusiast. He prefers keeping his fingers busy by posting different types of updates on his social media handles.

A majority of his posts are about himself, his training, and his lifestyle. Recently, ‘Mystic mac’ took to Instagram and posted a snap of himself. He looked all buffed up in the picture which garnered a lot of reaction from his fans.

One more fan was in utter disbelief to see McGregor’s transformation. He commented, “That is not Mcgregor anymore”.
