Conor McGregor looked so emaciated before weighing in the second-to-last time he fought at 145 pounds that Urijah Faber asked him if he was going to survive and inadvertently incited a minor quarrel backstage at MGM Grand Garden Arena.
That’s a notable memory nearly three years later not because McGregor is once again causing conflict and chaos ahead in the bowels of an arena — this time at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. — but because of the main event scheduled to take place Saturday night.
McGregor’s nutritionist is the highly respected George Lockhart, whom Max Holloway has pressed into action ahead of UFC 223.
