Conor McGregor throws his first kick since injury
Conor McGregor is once again showing the fight world how motivated he is to return to the octagon. The Irish superstar is seen throwing heavy kicks at the boxing bag since his injury at UFC 264.
Conor McGregor is not backing down one bit. The Irish superstar is turning out to be a great example for many fighters around the world. 11 months ago McGregor stepped into the octagon against his fierce rival Dustin Poirier at UFC 264. This fight was one of the most anticipated trilogy fights of all time. However, Conor broke his foot during the fight which awarded Poirier a victory in the first round via technical knockout.
There have been a couple of other fighters who faced a similar injury as McGregor in the past, Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman. However, no one has shown determination and development in their recovery like the Irishman. Conor has been consistently updating his recovery status to the fans via interviews and social media since his injury. After a successful surgery, Conor has slowly worked his way back to again throwing kicks. It is only a matter of time before we see “The Notorious One” back in the octagon doing what he does best.
