Daniel Cormier reveals why Conor McGregor isn't as big as he looks despite recent physical transformation
Daniel Cormier recently weighed in on the physical transformation of Conor McGregor, which has been a hot point of debate in recent times. According to the former UFC two-division champion, McGregor isn't as big as he appears to be.
The Irish MMA star remains the only fighter on the current UFC roster who has not been tested by USADA even once this year. Adding a massive physical transformation to the equation, it was enough for fight fans and fellow MMA peers to draw conclusions that 'The Notorious' might be using banned substances.
Offering his take on the latest reports that Conor McGregor will need to undergo six months of mandatory testing by the USADA before he makes a return to competition during a recent episode of ESPN MMA's DC & RC, Cormier said:
"He [McGregor] has to go through testing, but let me tell you one more thing. He looks big, but RC he's really short. He's so short, that's why he looks big. Man, he's not that big."
Cormier further added that McGregor's beloved fans will need to exercise patience since it will be some time before they witness him back in action:
"The sports fans that do watch Conor McGregor are excited, but they need to understand and slow down that Conor's got some tests to go through before he's eligible to fight."

Conor McGregor challenges Artem Lobov to a fight amidst legal dispute
Conor McGregor is embroiled in a legal dispute with former friend and training partner Artem Lobov over the Dubliner's Proper No. 12 whiskey.
Lobov recently claimed that he was the one who came up with the idea and is currently in the process of suing the former UFC double champion for $30 million for rights to the whiskey brand.
Needless to say, 'The Notorious' did not take kindly to Lobov's actions. He addressed the allegations in a recent Twitter tirade and called out 'The Russian Hammer' for a fight at SBG Concorde:
"This is a call out to Artem 'the fanny, fairy pad' Lobov. I'm challening you to a fight tonight. 10:30 p.m. I'll meet you down at SBG Concorde and we'll fight for the whole lot. We'll fight for the whole lot. Having lawyers message me about defamation and all this suing and all. You're a little fairy, you're a little blouse mate."
