10 Best Body Transformations In UFC History
1. Conor McGregor (145lbs To 165lbs)
Conor McGregor finds himself at the top of yet another list. Surprise, surprise.
Well, at least this time it's for a positive reason.
Mystic Mac has actually competed in three weight classes to varying degrees of success.
At Featherweight (145lbs), the man would knock off Max Holloway, Dustin Poirier and the legendary Jose Aldo in stunning, title winning fashion. At Lightweight (155lbs) he would conquer Eddie Alvarez to become a 'Champ Champ', becoming the first man in the company to hold two championships simultaneously, before recently losing to Khabib Nurmagomedov for the undisputed Lightweight title.
With all that being said, the most remarkable decision in McGregor's career to date - besides thinking he could out-box the greatest boxer of his generation, Floyd Mayweather - was the moment he decided he could be a Welterweight... with 11 days notice.
Jumping from 145lbs to a suggested 166lbs on the night of his fight with the 181lbs Nate Diaz, the Notorious one had a mountain to climb.
He was choked out in the first battle but would claim a unanimous decision win in the rematch at this unfamiliar weight.
McGregor is a lot of things but you can never question the man's guts. Gaining 20lbs in less than two weeks and carrying it like a champ into a fight with one of the Welterweight's finest cannot be sniffed at.
