Conor McGregor confuses fans as he shows off ‘Tour de France’ calves and boasts ‘velociraptor grip’ ahead of UFC return
CONOR MCGREGOR left fans scratching their heads as he boasted about his ‘Tour de France’ calves.
The former UFC champion shared a photo of his legs on Twitter, while he also gloated that he had ‘grip like a velociraptor’.
The photo is of just the lower half of his body, and shows him on his toes while flexing his leg muscles.
He captioned the tweet with: “Le Tour de France calves. Control, balance, stability, power.”
This came after an earlier tweet in which he bragged: “My standing foot and toe grip on the earth while up on the ball of my foot, is now that of a velociraptor.”
The reponses to the calves-based photo consisted of some fans who were unsure as to what to take from it.
One said: “Wtf is this”
Another pondered: “What is going on”
Someone else asked: “What is this picture”
Meanwhile, others used the opportunity to come up with hilarious hypothetical explanations behind his stance.
One joked: “tiptoeing down the hall as a kid to check if santa came”
Another quipped: “When I don’t have socks on and the floor is colder than I anticipated”
Someone else said: “This is literally someone holding their baby to the floor and see if they can walk a little”
McGregor has been out of commission since July 2021, when he broke his leg against Dustin Poirier.
While he has since spent time filming for his film debut in the upcoming remake of ‘Road House’, he is still targeting a return to the octagon.
ON THE WAY MAC
The Dubliner proclaimed that he will be free to enter the USADA testing pool in February.
Back in September, it was revealed that he had not been drug tested since 2021.
This put his return plans into question due to rules stipulating that any fighter has to have been in USADA’s testing pool for six months before fighting.
Should he reenter the pool in February, that would put his return date at August 2023 at the earliest.
One potential fight could be a FOURTH fight against Dustin Poirier, despite losing TWICE to The DIamond in successive bouts.
Poirier himself talked up the possibility of a fourth fight during a heated social media exchange with The Notorious.
The lightweight star has recently been hospitalised with a staph infection, which caused his foot to gruesomely swell.
McGregor poked fun at the infection and branded it as “karma” before writing “heal up soon scruffy knickers.”
But Poirier hit back and jibed, “Ready to get slapped around again?
