Conor McGregor has been absent from UFC competition for over four years, leaving many fans doubtful about his fighting future. Recently, the ‘Notorious’ confirmed his return at the highly anticipated UFC White House event, reigniting hope among his supporters. Despite beginning his training camp nearly a year ahead, early footage suggests McGregor’s conditioning and sharpness might not be promising.

McGregor, in his prime, was famous for his lightning quick speed and devastating left hand that brutally knocked out many opponents. He often proclaimed, “Precision beats power, timing beats speed,” a motto perfectly reflecting his calculated yet explosive fighting style. However, in his recent training clip, McGregor appeared sluggish, drawing critical attention from MMA veteran Cris Cyborg immediately.

The female fighter posted laughing emojis under McGregor’s latest viral training clip, openly mocking his noticeably slower striking speed. McGregor’s speed has gradually declined with age and due to adjustments in his technique throughout the later stages of his career. Many believe the Mystic Mac’s biggest shift came when he adopted a boxing stance, abandoning his signature karate-based style.

Despite his reduced speed, many former rivals, including Dustin Poirier, still respect the devastating knockout power of McGregor’s brutal left hand. However, few expect the ‘Notorious’ to return and defeat any elite contenders in either the lightweight or welterweight divisions currently. Last year, Michael Chandler was expected as his opponent, but the White House event could feature someone else.

Throughout his hiatus from fighting, Conor McGregor focused heavily on business ventures, including investing in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship. The Irish fighter has publicly stated his intention to compete in BKFC once his UFC contractual obligations were fully completed and honored.

However, ongoing controversies, including a high-profile assault lawsuit, have fueled persistent doubts regarding the certainty of his comeback. On top of that, the ‘Notorious’ recently went viral for allegedly sending NSFW DMs to rapper Azealia Banks. 

His intentions regarding the White House event comeback were questioned, but recent updates about his blood testing have shown positive signs. McGregor has been consistently sharing training clips, showing his commitment to making a statement with his return. Here are some reactions from his latest training clip, where he looked sluggish and slow. 

As expected, many fans noticed McGregor’s lack of tenacity in his striking and made fun of him in the comments. Many talked about his bad habits and alleged drug practices affecting his fighting in the long run. Fans unanimously believed that, in the current form, the fighter would get demolished by any fighter in the top list. 

The Irishman’s downfall is undoubtedly one of the most discussed in the world of combat sports. Many, including UFC CEO Dana White, are convinced that money changed the Irishman and made it hard for him to keep training hard. Recently, his old rival, Khabib Nurmagomedov, talked about McGregor and wished him luck to change in the future.
