McGregor is back to working on polishing his kicks
Conor McGregor is getting closer by the day to officially gauge his ability to get back into the octagon. The Irish Man who has been out of action for the past year and then some has finally dropped footage of making huge progress in his rehabilitation as he is back to kicking with his broken leg.
McGregor broke his lower tibia at UFC 264 in the very first round of his trilogy against Dustin Poirier. McGregor said back then that he had an existing injury in camp but he wished to continue despite it as he has never to date pulled out of a fight in the UFC.
Since then, McGregor has gone on to invest more time in his business ventures with investments in pubs and clothing while also building his celebrity status with appearances at the Cannes Film Festival and other high society events. This, compounded with his massive wealth has led many to believe that the Irish man may never return to the sport.

Conor McGregor boasts about his kicking prowess in his latest Instagram Post
Today Conor McGregor posted a series of new training footage among which one stood out. As he has boasted many times now, McGregor has a titanium rod in place to support his broken leg and he believes that will give him the eternal power of Dim Mak once he’s back in action.
With a lengthy caption boasting about his kicks being swift like lighting, McGregor can be seen targeting the pads with some high kicks. Anyone who’s ever trained and has gotten back from an injury, knows the initial hesitation one has to use their now healed parts in an aggressive manner. The same is with McGregor.
Back in his pre-2016 run McGregor’s kicks were precise and lightning fast, the strikes you don’t see coming hurt you the most and the same was with Conor. However in the recent training footage there is notable hesitation in his movement and who can blame him for that. A great recent example to compare him now is the head kick that sent Cerrone to the canvas during their bout at UFC 246, with the same leg.

The caption however reeked of confidence as is the norm with McGregor reading, “Now Ask yourself this. Can you whip up a head kick in a blink? Head kick like a jab? Why not, stupid? Can’t even touch your toes you tick. I’m not even working low or to the body anymore. Get to the top of the mountain and work your way down is the way!” He concluded by saying, “I kick this pad dead central and then I kick it above at the very top of the pad to demonstrate I can go way higher with ease. My stock is mr whippy.”
McGregor’s manager recently revealed that he is on track to make his return by 2023, also confiming that his role in the upcoming Roadhouse movie will not in any way affect the timeline for his return. Who do you want Conkr to face on his return?
