Nu är det bara en vecka kvar till McGregor möter Chad Mendes om interimbältet i fjädervikt. Det är ingen nyhet att Conor McGregor är en av större fjäderviktarna i UFC och han tidigare berättat om sina planer för att eventuellt gå tillbaka till lättvikt. Han väger nu 78 kg och kommer behöva banta ner sig till 66 kg på bara 7 dagar.
Det här berättade Chael Sonnen, via ESPN:
He’s a very big guy. I was impressed with how big he is. I was like ’Conor, what do you weigh?’, he said ’I’m around 172 lbs’. He’s got to be 145 lbs in eight days.
He’s going to be a little bit bigger than Chad. I don’t know if that helps or not. It might slow him down. He’s a big guy. I’ve (cut that much weight) before, but I’m considerably bigger. Percentage-wise, I wouldn’t have to lose quite as much.
I don’t know how he’s going to do it. He’s very lean. He has a very busy schedule. He’s training at Las Vegas. He was just in LA with Conan O’Brien last night. He’s in New York for Reebok a day before that. He was in Connecticut the day before that. One, how does he do the weight? And two, how does he find the time? I don’t know.
