CONOR MCGREGOR says he is a "brick wall" after his dramatic transformations over the past five months.
Between his rehabilitation sessions for his broken leg, the UFC's star fighter has been lifting weights.
Conor McGregor is recovering from his broken leg.
The otherwise lean and mean Notorious has gained a lot of muscle over his absence from the octagon.
In a recent conversation with one of his supporters, the Irishman called himself a "brick wall".
McGregor replied to a fan asking if his head was photoshopped onto his body.
"I'm so much of a brick wall, that I can't be seen with the brick wall at the back."
McGregor, a MMA mogul, revealed earlier this month that McGregor's constant iron pumping has helped him gain a staggering 190lbs (86kg)
He tweeted "190lbs granite."
McGregor, 33 years old, is currently recovering from the terrible broken leg sustained in his fight with Dustin Pourier during the July Trilogy.
The Irishman has recovered quicker than expected from his nasty injury that saw him lose his Sin City series decider to The Diamond.
Auddie Attar, Paradigm Sports Management chief, said to Sunsport recently: "He is ahead of schedule.
"We received our x-ray results back, but we also got our CT scan and ultrasound results.
"It's so healing to see the x-ray view from my own eyes.
"He is walking now after only 10 and-a-half weeks of surgery.
"And he's doing s**t we don't want him do, like throwing the first pitch at the Cubs Game."
McGregor, a former two-division champion, is eager to return to the octagon next year and plans to make a comeback to sparring in April.
He said to his fans during a late-night Twitter Q&A: "The fibula has fully healed."
"The medial side is also developing nice callous.
It is important to wait for the bone to break down to the side of the tibia, where the larger break took place.
It's moving. "Patience will win this race.
Later, he said that he would be fully trained in mixed martial arts sparring by April. Easily!
"By then, a return will become imminent. But I must be patient. "I will overcome this!"
