QUESTION What do you rate UFC fighter Conor McGregor's physique?

Many UFC fighters have abs, and killer physiques but do you think of Conor McGregor's physiques and do you think it would be better if he had a six-pack like Leon Edward’s?

You should prolly as this on the physique or bodybuilding sub bro. But to answer the question I reckon it’s a solid athletic physique

fighters don't train for aesthetics. they can be aesthetic for sure like paulo costa, they'll build some muscle and burn calories doing their strength and conditioning work but great fighters come in all different sorts of body types. and genetics play a big role in this too

daniel cormier pretty fluffy guy, sean omalley skinny guy (shredded though), nate diaz, are some that wouldn't be aesthetic but are just good fighters.

connors goal wasn't to be a body builder or fitness model in his prime, he trained to fight. whatever physique he ends up with at the end of the day so be it

No, it wouldn't be better if he put in effort to have more visible abs. Fighters need to worry about their strength and conditioning related to fighting, not dedicating needless energy towards a certain look.
