Manager says Conor McGregor is ‘a lot happier at 170’ but could move back to 155

Conor McGregor looked to be in tremendous form at UFC 246, where he disposed of Donald ‘Cowboy’ Cerrone in just 40 seconds to re-cement his status as one of the most dangerous strikers in the UFC.

McGregor’s longtime manager, Audie Attar, believes part of the reason for McGregor’s success at UFC 246 was due to ‘The Notorious’ not having to cut any weight. In fact, McGregor had to eat more food to make the 170-pound weight limit and says the Irishman is happiest, and healthiest, when competing at welterweight.

With that said, Attar believes McGregor could return to 155 in the future but says 145 is likely out of the equation.
