Conor McGregor sticks with claim that he currently weighs 265 pounds
Conor McGregor has gained an impressive amount of muscle over the past year and a half. According to the Irishman, he currently weighs a staggering 265 lbs. This is the same weight as the UFC heavyweight limit.
A quick glance at McGregor's social media will give you an idea of how much weight training he has done over the past 17 months. 'The Notorious' has fought between 145-155 lbs. for the vast majority of his career, but currently weighs much more than that.
Allegations of steroid use have been thrown Conor McGregor's way after reports emerged that he has not been tested by USADA since 2021. But without evidence, no one can be certain.
In a video posted to Twitter by @McGregor_ent, 'The Notorious' can be seen claiming to be around 265 lbs.
"Let's say I'm about 265 [lbs.] yeah. Super heavy in the bank we am yeah."

"You are the UFC women's champion on her way. You're going to sleep Valentina [Shevchenko]... Enjoy your newfound fame, keep the team tight and know the limits with the time you give. Just consider it a new job somewhat... train for real as if it's Cage Warriors still because that's what it is and that's what we are, cage warriors."
