Conor McGregor plans to "go even bigger" after dramatic body transformation. He is plotting UFC's return

CONOR MCGREGOR plans to fight for a welterweight title in his eagerly-awaited return to the UFC.

The Notorious is now in the final stage of his rehabilitation from the terrible broken leg that he sustained in his fight with Dustin Pourier last July.

McGregor, 33 years old, has gained some serious weight while he was on the sidelines. He thinks that his days competing as a lightweight may be over.

According to him, The MacLife is about finding the right weight. I don't see myself returning to 155.

"I eat, I lift, I train, and I don't cut calories, so this is my natural state. I can go even bigger."

"I think I'm looking at 170. I don't like to go above 170 so I prefer 170. I have always enjoyed a full camp at 170 when I was properly prepared.

RETURN OF MAC

McGregor will meet with White, UFC boss in Las Vegas, to discuss his return

"The [Nate] Diaz 2 Rematch and the [Cowboy] [Donald] fight in special. They were both flawless performances.

"They were some of my best performances in the UFC Octagon and they weren't calorie deficient at all."

McGregor, a former champion in two divisions, revealed last month that it was his goal to return to the cage this summer.

UFC President Dana White however, expects that the Irishman will be back in action in the "fall" [autumn].

SunSport was informed by him that he is looking forward to early fall if all goes well.

White and the UFC brass won't rush McGregor to get back to training until McGregor is cleared by doctors.

He stated, "If his leg heals well and he has the clearance to start training, then he may be able to train in the early fall."

White, a MMA mogul, plans to meet with the UFC's poster child in the coming weeks to discuss his healing and to set a date for his big-ticket return.

White said that McGregor's recent callout of Kamaru Usman as welterweight champion was interesting to her.
