Conor McGregor appears to be gearing up for a return to the octagon after a lengthy absence.
Despite being away from competition for nearly three years, McGregor remains a major draw in the sport. Speculation about his comeback has been circulating for years, and now it seems like the Irish fighter might finally make his return.
Following an injury that sidelined him from UFC 303, McGregor seems to be recovering well. A recent social media post from McGregor shows him shadowboxing, indicating that his broken toe is no longer hindering him.
The video shows McGregor displaying his boxing skills and movement, reassuring fans that he is on the road to recovery. While his exact return date is uncertain, it is clear that McGregor is making progress with his injury.
Originally scheduled to face Michael Chandler in the UFC 303 main event, McGregor’s return is highly anticipated. Chandler, who has developed a rivalry with McGregor during their time as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter, is eager to face the Irish fighter.
Despite offers for other matchups, Chandler has his sights set on McGregor. However, potential opponents like Islam Makhachev and Dustin Poirier are also expressing interest in facing McGregor upon his return to the UFC.
All signs point to McGregor’s return drawing significant attention and excitement from fans and fighters alike.
