Conor McGregor shows off his body while calling himself a baby of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Lee

​

​

Irish Superstar Conor McGregor recently compared himself to bodybuilding great Arnold Schwarzenegger and legendary martial artist Bruce Lee.

UFC poster boy Conor McGregor, in yet another now-deleted post over his social media handles, was seen showing off his heavily ripped muscles. In the image, the Irishman can be seen cycling while trying to show off his pumped-up muscles.

Posting the image on Facebook, the 'Notorious' jokingly called himself the "Irish Baby" of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Lee:

"If @schwarzenegger and @brucelee had a mad Irish baby"

Conor McGregor has been out of action for almost a year and a half now. His last fight was a trilogy fight against Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021. In the match, McGregor was defeated in the first round after he suffered a broken tibia and has been out of the octagon ever since.

Throughout his recovery, the 34-year-old has repeatedly shared videos of his transformation. Recent videos of him training with his broken leg suggest that the fighter has fully recovered from the injury and is ready to return to the octagon.

Michael Chandler shares his views on a potential fight against Conor McGregor

UFC lightweight contender Michael Chandler called for a fight with Conor McGregor upon the Irishman's return, in an interview with ESPN MMA's Brett Okamoto.

According to Chandler, the UFC superstar weighs the same as the American and is the same size as 'Iron,' so a fight between the two makes the most sense:

​

"If he does want to come back, who in the heck else do you want to be standing on the other side of the octagon than me right now at this juncture. We are the same size, we're the same weight..."

Chandler further pointed towards the fact that both he and McGregor have the potential to draw the highest-selling pay-per-view, and that should be another reason for the promotion to book McGregor against the former Bellator Champion:

​

"It's crazy the amount of buzz that is on me, my fight style, my fights every single time and the UFC knows it. I think Conor knows it. Conor's team knows it. The whole world of mixed martial arts knows it...Whenver he wants to come back and tell me who's a bigger draw or a bigger fight than me and Conor right now?"
