Conor McGregor is well and truly back! The Irish UFC superstar is only a few months away from lighting up arenas and putting on a show inside the octagon. The fighter has shown great improvement over the past few months and is now ready to train in all aspects of the sport.

Conor McGregor was faced with a devastating injury at UFC 264 when he took on his nemesis Dustin Poirier in a trilogy bout. The fight ended in a brutal fashion for the Irishman as his leg was compromised. It was uncertain when the fighter would return as we’ve previously seen injuries of such kind turn out to be disastrous for fighters’ careers. However, the Notorious One is not any other fighter.

There is no doubt a part of the Irishman is irked by the fact his last few bouts inside the octagon have not been the best performances of his career. McGregor seems to be very motivated to get back into the octagon and prove his haters wrong.
