Conor McGregor looks like he’s built for a permanent stay in the welterweight division.
McGregor, who is currently fighting Donald Cerrone at welterweight at UFC 246, is also eyeing a fight against Jorge Masvidal for the ‘BMF’ title in the same division.

“I would like that bad motherfucker title, that belt, then I’d like the gold. For me, the gold has a bit more significance to it, especially since the way the ‘BMF’ fight finished. I thought we were robbed of aa classic contest there. I thought it was only kicking into gear rounds 4 and 5. But they’re both exciting bouts.
“I’d say probably the more exciting of the bouts would probably be myself versus Jorge, from a stylistic standpoint. Usman kind of has the similar style of Khabib [Nurmagomedov], the sniff-the-jockstrap style.”
Conor weighed in at exactly 170 pounds before his UFC 246 fight with Cerrone and he looks absolutely jacked.

Compare McGregor now to that time when he fought at 145 pounds.
Still incredible that once upon a time Conor McGregor made 145lbs. The picture on the left is of him hitting the scales for the Jose Aldo fight. The one on the right is from today's #UFC246 official weigh-in where he hit 170lbs. pic.twitter.com/pwu4O3LQOU
