"He does look a little puffy" - Dustin Poirier reacts to Conor McGregor's massive 190lbs. physique
Conor McGregor recently shocked the world with a series of pictures he posted on social media, where he looked uncharacteristically buff. Interestingly, Dustin Poirier recently gave his take on the Irishman's physical appearance.
While in conversation with Michael Bisping, in a video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel, Dustin Poirier took a couple of shots at Conor McGregor, who has supposedly reinvented himself.
According to Dustin Poirier:
"I did see a picture. He does look a little puffy, man. He might want to slow down on the Black Forge, whatever he's got going on."
Conor McGregor and Dustin Poirier have fought twice at lightweight and once at featherweight. However, the Irishman has seemingly worked his way up to 190 lbs.
This transformation begs the question of whether Conor McGregor will return to the lightweight division in the wake of his recovery. Perhaps the 33-year-old plans on competing in the welterweight division once he is fit to compete.
