Conor McGregor appears to have been packing the pounds and muscle during his recovery.
McGregor, who hasn’t fought in over a year after breaking his leg during his fight vs. Dustin Poirier, is currently filming the Road House remake Jake Gyllenhaal before he makes a return to the Octagon next year according to his manager Tim Simpson.

A fun little venture then switching back to climbing the mountain again. It fits in perfectly. He’s still on track for a big return next year, but this fits in perfectly in the meantime,”
“Acting wasn’t something I think that Conor at the very front of his mind, right now he’s still a world class athlete and his focus is being the best fighter in the world. But as the injury continues to heal and he continues to prepare for a comeback, the timing worked well. It’s a great opportunity to do a big Hollywood blockbuster in meantime and he’s going to kill it
On Friday, McGregor showed off a picture of what he looks like currently and he is absolutely massive.
