CONOR MCGREGOR has returned to fight training for the first time since he broke his leg at UFC 264 against Duston Poirier, Strap yourselves in for the greatest comeback in sports history” said McGregor in an Instagram post.
McGregor also said that he will be able to return to full training in two months after he is given the all clear. This will include grappling, kicking and everything in between. McGregor will be looking for revenge against Khabib Nurmagomedov and Dustin Poirier.
At UFC 264, McGregor lost his third fight with Poirier. Since the loss, with McGregor's return to full-time training now close at hand, McGregor has continually maintained that he won the fight before getting injured.
