Fans stunned by Conor McGregor's physique as he meets Justin Bieber in Barbados

Conor McGregor has wowed fans with his new physique after posting photos of a surprise reunion with pal Justin Bieber.

The former two-weight UFC world champion has been bulking up during recovery from his broken leg suffered against Dustin Poirier last year, and looks massive compared to his usual weight.

He is said to be weighing as much as 190lb, and fans noted that he was looking "massive" in photos where he ran into pop star Bieber in the Caribbean.

WWE star Sheamus noted that the Irishman was now "Wrestlemania sized", while other fans added that he has a "proper bulk on".

One fan joked: "Mate, the size of you - f***ing hell," while another said that he looked like the villain Bane from the Batman comics.

McGregor and Bieber have been friends for a long time, but rarely get to spend much time together given their packed schedules.

Who do you want Conor McGregor to fight in his return to the octagon this year? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

The singer is one of the most famous individuals in the world, while McGregor is also incredibly busy as an owner of multiple businesses even during his off-time from the sport.

But they are very friendly when they do see one another, with the Irishman even flying to New York in the past to present Bieber with an award.

"I bumped into Justin Bieber again today," McGregor said in his post. "In the Bahamas! I always randomly see Justin out of nowhere and just chop it up, I love this kid!

"Two goats [Greatest Of All Time] on a cliff sideways, just chopping it up, what’s happenin' JB my brotha hahah.

"I put it up to the sky this keeps happening, it’s something from above that keeps doing this!

"God bless you my brother, great to see you always. Some serve today!"

McGregor is currently on the comeback trail after suffering a severe injury at UFC 264 that has put him out of action for the best part of a year.

He is still unable to train MMA in any way, and while it is expected that he will return to the octagon this year, it would be hoped that he can be back in a cage for sparring soon.

In the meantime, he has spent a lot of time at his Dublin pub The Black Forge Inn, concerning fans with certain posts after declaring that he is soon to give up his whiskey Proper 12 as well as his new Forged Irish stout.

McGregor had been aiming to get an immediate title shot on his return, but that is looking increasingly unlikely after the Charles Oliveira was booked to fight Justin Gaethje.

Oliveira, a fighter who has struggled for big money fights over the years, has said that he wants to face McGregor next, but it now seems improbable.

Instead, the Irishman could face one of Nate Diaz, Tony Ferguson or even Poirier for a fourth time when he steps in again.
