Ido Portal says he sees 'huge difference' in welterweight version of Conor McGregor ahead of UFC 196

Ido Portal believes Conor McGregor will turn heads in his welterweight debut at UFC 196.

Portal, who serves as McGregor's personal movement coach, has worked closely with the Irish superstar for some time now, helping him prepare for both his most recent victory at UFC 194 over Jose Aldo and his current bout against Nate Diaz at UFC 196.

Now, with McGregor fighting at 170 pounds – 25 pounds heavier than the featherweight limit he competed at during UFC 194 – Portal notices differences with the UFC champ's attitude and body alike.
