McGregor has not had the best of runs inside the octagon in the last few years. Since his loss to Khabib Nurmagomedov, the fighter has only won one fight. His last two back-to-back losses in the octagon have shined a lot of light on his form in recent times.

The fighter is also coming off a brutal injury in his last fight which has extended his layoff. The Notorious One, however, is completely past his injury, says Stephen Thompson. Fans took to Twitter and reacted to Thompson’s update on McGregor.

Conor McGregor is more seen than ever in recent times given he is located at the TUF house coaching fighters opposite Michael Chandler. Fans are more than ready to witness two great entertainers put on a show for them. It will be interesting to see how McGregor moves on the feet with his current physique.
