UFC president Dana White says Conor McGregor will probably stay at welterweight with impressive win at UFC 196

Everybody who has seen the side-by-side pictures of Conor McGregor at UFC 194 weighing in at 145 pounds and yesterday at UFC 196 weighing 168 pounds knows that the latter was a much healthier look for the Irish fighter.

And if you're asking UFC president Dana White, he'll tell you that he thinks McGregor's future is probably in a weight class where he doesn't look like a reanimated skeleton during the weight cut.

Which is a little awkward, given the fact the man just won the featherweight belt in December.

"I think if he wins impressively [Saturday], he doesn't even go back to 45," White said Friday in Las Vegas.
