Conor McGregor probably hasn’t seen 145 pounds on a scale since Dec. 11, 2015, which was the night before he scored his stunning 13-second knockout over Jose Aldo to become UFC featherweight champion.
In recent years, the Irish superstar has been more concerned with the lightweight division, where he eventually became champion, and now he’s about to fight at welterweight for the third time in the UFC as he prepares to face Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone on Saturday night.
All signs seem to point to McGregor leaving featherweight in his rear view mirror for good but after solidifying himself as one of the best 145-pound fighters in history, he can’t say for certain that he’s done there forever.
