PIC: We’ve never seen Conor McGregor look so big as he moves up a weight class

Conor McGregor is really enjoying the step up to the lightweight division.

The Notorious is getting ready to fight at 155lbs for the first time since entering the UFC, and he looks absolutely beastly as he prepares for the challenge of Rafael dos Anjos on March 5.

In the past, the Irishman has had trouble making the cut down to 145lbs for featherweight bouts, but the additional 10lbs of weight should make things easier for him this time.

McGregor shared a photo of himself with fellow lightweight Peter Queally, and it’s clear he’s sending out a message to the whole division.

He may be the featherweight champion, but he’s not going to be out-sized.
