CONOR MCGREGOR has left UFC fans stunned with his dramatic body transformation. The Irishman is gearing up to make his long-awaited cage return on the promotion’s White House card on June 14. McGregor, 37, hasn’t set foot inside the cage since breaking his left leg nearly five years ago and beefed up considerably during his time out. The Notorious has slowly but surely chipped away at his jacked physique over the last 18 months and is now looking much leaner than usual. And the former two-division champion recently showed off the fruits of his labour on social media. MMA fans couldn’t help but comment on the Irishman’s body transformation, with one saying: “Looking good. Ready to kick a***.” Another said: “McGregor looks strong, ready for action. Keep pushing.” And another said: “He’s locked in.” One remarked: “Let’s see if you’ve still got it, brother.” Another chimed in: “He’s goin’ [to] KO someone.” McGregor, the UFC’s first simultaneous two-weight world champion, was set to be welcomed back to the cage by long-time rival Michael Chandler. But UFC supremo Dana White has seemingly PULLED THE PLUG on the fight, telling Complex: “No, that was a couple of years ago. No.” McGregor is willing to fight, whomever, writing on X: “Pick who ya want! “The Mac sweats nothing and nobody. I’m TASTY SHOTS.” McGregor is currently serving an 18-month DOPING BAN for violating the UFC’s anti-doping policy. He was slapped with the sanction last September for racking up three whereabouts failures within a 12-month period, which is the equivalent of a failed test. His period of ineligibility, which was initially set to be TWO YEARS, ends on March 20. McGregor’s next fight will be his first since he was found civilly liable for assaulting Nikita Hand at a Dublin hotel in 2018. McGregor lost his appeal of the verdict, which was turned in by a jury of his peers at Dublin’s High Court in November 2024. The Supreme Court rejected Mystic Mac’s bid for a further appeal last month.
