Okay, so I wanted to get to the bottom of Conor McGregor’s actual weight and height. You see all sorts of numbers thrown around, especially around fight time, so I decided to do my own digging.
My Mission: Find the Truth
First, I hit up the official UFC website. Sometimes they have the stats right there, but it can be inconsistent. I spent a good chunk of time just scrolling through different profiles and articles, trying to find something concrete.
Then I moved onto some of the big MMA news sites. You know, the ones that cover every press conference and weigh-in. I figured they’d be reporting on this stuff constantly, so there had to be some good info there.
The Problem:
- The “official” numbers changed depending on which weight class he was fighting in.
- Some sites just repeated what they heard without really checking.
- McGregor himself plays it up sometimes.
I also look at his photos with other fighters,sometimes I can estimate his real height via comparison. I even watched a few videos and I found it’s very hard to tell.
I kept digging. I checked out fan forums, Reddit threads (yeah, I went there!), and even some older interviews to see if anything consistent popped up.
So, after all that searching,comparing and analyzing, what did I come up with?
It is not easy, but finally I got it.
