‘The Notorious’ Conor McGregor is one of the bestselling athletes of all time. The former UFC champion last graced the Octagon over a year ago. Since then, the fans are eagerly waiting to for the Irishman’s comeback fight. While Conor McGregor keeps his fans updated with his training videos and clips, his recent transformation is also becoming a matter of buzz.

When Conor McGregor last fought at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier, he appeared to injure his leg. Coming off a layoff period of one year, he looks pumped to reign the Octagon again.

However, the path to supremacy is not as easy as it would have been a year back. The lightweight division dynamics have changed since he last fought. And going by his recent transformation, where he has added both muscles and weight, his move to a higher division looks plausible.

One look at his social media handles will reveal that McGregor is putting a lot of work into his training. As a result, he has achieved a shredded physique. However, not everyone has a positive inclination toward his shredded physique.

The comment on Conor McGregor’s neck

Mystic Mac recently posted a photo of his post-workout on his social media handles. He captioned the photo, “Coming soon to a theater near you. 🎬 #thedoubledeuce”

This was an obvious reference to his upcoming debut Hollywood project- Road House.

While some fans were in awe of the ripped physique, some users pointed out the uncanny thick neck of the former champion.

One user in particularly commented on Conor McGregor‘s neck. Further, he commented, “What the f**k happened to your neck
@TheNotoriousMMA”.

Some even went forward to speculate that this was due to non-compliance with USADA testing. As a matter of fact, USADA has not tested yet the former two-division champion in 2022.

What did Conor McGregor reply

The comment didn’t escape the 34-year-old’s attention. The 22-6 record holder again took to Twitter and replied very candidly.

He thus wrote, “It got huge.” 

Known for his brash nature, this might be one of the rare comments where Conor McGregor has not gone to war against such comments.

Along with the new training clips and updates, MMA fans will be hoping to see him making his Octagon return at the earliest. An early 2023 date looks reasonable for all the parties. But one question looms large. What division he will next fight?
