Conor McGregor suddenly dropped his retirement post on June 6, 2020. This was not the first time when the Irishman had pulled such a stunt. Many believed strongly that he will make yet another comeback in the coming time. The intuition that these UFC-heads had is seemingly coming to the fruition.

There were news making rounds that Conor can make a comeback in a higher weight division. He dropped a selfie post on Instagram just two days ago on 6th July. It clearly showcased his perfectly chiseled body. Additionally, his coach John Kavanagh made a comment saying, “skip 170 straight to 185?”

Conor McGregor is training vigorously on a punching bag

In a recent Ariel Helwani interview, Jorge Masvidal accepted that fighters do not wear themselves out for no reason. He explained how training to stay fit and preparing to get into the Octagon are two different things.

Now, this video of McGregor has again opened the way to speculations. The ‘pure horsepower’ signals towards something big with those power jabs. Even in his retirement post, The Notorious said that the game no more ‘excites’ him. So is it that the weight category no more excites him? Is it that he wants to now enter a whole new category to try his luck? Or is it that we can finally view a mouthwatering Conor McGregor vs Khabib Nurmagomedov 2?
