Conor McGregor is a former UFC champion in two weight classes. The Irishman was never considered a strong hitter, but he knocked out opponents with his accuracy and timing.
How hard is Conor’s punch?
Recently, Conor has gained a lot of weight, which is why he was suspected of doping. He definitely won’t be able to cut down to lightweight, so everyone is wondering how hard Conor is hitting right now.
It’s no secret that body weight affects power, so Conor decided to show everyone his legendary punch. However, something went wrong, and McGregor became a hero viral video.
He recently hung out again at his pub, the Black Forge Inn in Dublin, where he met fans. There Conor decided to test his punch on a special simulator that measures his strength.
McGregor took aim and launched his signature left hand, hitting the power meter with the same ferocity as when he knocked out Jose Aldo to become UFC champion in 2015.
Oddly enough, the device showed only 1 point (!) out of 999. Of course, a malfunction was to blame, because the UFC star could not have hit so weakly. Conor was outraged when he saw the one, so he tried to hit again. And it turned out much better — 860 points, which was slightly short of the record of 879 points.
“Broken this thing twice, I’m number one, everything broke, yeah,” McGregor said after the hit, hinting that it wasn’t the first time he’d caused a car to malfunction.

When will Conor return to the UFC octagon?
McGregor has not competed since breaking his leg during his third fight with Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in July 2021, but he is close to a comeback fight.

Conor is scheduled to face lightweight Michael Chandler, who co-coached the Irishman on the reality show “The Ultimate Fighter.” It recently became known that Conor has re-entered the USADA pool and will begin to undergo doping tests, and in six months he will be able to fight in the UFC.
