McGregor has always stated that he would prefer fighting in a higher weight division than featherweight and Lockhart agrees that it could actually benefit him, especially with a full training camp behind him.
"Conor is going to spend less time thinking about weight and he's going to be able think about the fight more often," Lockhart said. "This time I'll be able to check in and really dial in on what his body needs and how his body's working.
"In terms of weight, I think, at 155, he's got the muscle mass and the athleticism to do well in that category."
Lockhart finds himself in a unique position where he is nutritionist for McGregor but his team are also working with dos Anjos. If anything, it just lets him get to know both fighters.
"I can't say specifics but Dos Anjos walks around a lot heavier than Conor. He's definitely going to be walking around heavier than Conor," we already knew that. Did we all know that McGregor was humble?
"He's a stand-up guy. He's actually very humble, very respectful, and very disciplined. You see why he is where he is when you talk to him."
