Okay, so I’ve been meaning to document this for a while, and today’s the day. I got really curious about Conor McGregor’s weight and height – the guy’s a total beast in the octagon, but everyone always talks about his size. So I dug in, and here’s what went down.
First off, I spent hours scrolling through articles, forums, and fan pages. It was a wild goose chase, honestly. Some sources were saying one thing, others were saying another. It was all over the place, which just made me even more curious to get to the bottom of it.
I even stumbled upon some old interviews where McGregor himself talked about his weight. He mentioned gaining a bunch of muscle, like 15 kilograms, which is insane! And he claimed it was all muscle, no fat. Now, I don’t know if I believe that 100%, but it’s still impressive.
Then, I started comparing his stats across different fights. I went through his UFC records, match by match. I tracked his weight for each fight, trying to see if there was any pattern or consistency. It was a bit tedious, but kinda fun in a nerdy way. Like for example, Nov 12, 2016 UFC 205 Alvarez vs. McGregor, Aug 20, 2016 UFC 202 Diaz vs. McGregor 2, Mar 5 and so on. Then I kept searching for more information.
- I watched a bunch of his weigh-in videos. That was actually pretty helpful. I could see how he looked at different weights and compare it to what was officially recorded.
- I also looked at photos of him standing next to other fighters whose heights and weights are well-documented. That gave me a better sense of his actual size.
After all this digging, I finally pieced together a clearer picture. It seems like Conor McGregor’s height is pretty consistently reported at 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm). That seems legit, based on everything I saw.
His weight, though, is a bit more complicated. He’s fought in different weight classes, so it fluctuates. But it looks like he usually competes in the lightweight division. And apparently, he walks around a bit heavier when he’s not training for a fight. He seems so strong when he’s fighting.
I gotta say, this whole process was pretty interesting. It’s crazy how much speculation and misinformation there is out there. But it was cool to do my own little investigation and come to my own conclusions. And hey, even though he hasn’t fought in three years, McGregor’s still a big deal. Remember that broken leg he got in 2021 fighting Dustin Poirier? Ouch! Anyway, it just shows how much people care about this guy, even when it comes to something as basic as his height and weight.
So yeah, that’s my deep dive into Conor McGregor’s stats. Hope you found it as interesting as I did!
