Conor McGregor might just be on the verge of making his grand comeback. The big question, as always is, will he really end up doing it though? McGregor is perhaps the biggest star the sport has ever seen and his absence from the cage has bothered many. This includes not only fans but ‘The Notorious’ himself but also his opponent-to-be, Michael Chandler. Chandler has already sent down a message to McGregor asking him to get back into the gym because he’s going to receive a fight of biblical proportions.

However, ignoring Chandler’s say-so, McGregor decided to do the exact opposite of getting into the gym. Instead, he put on his gloves and began boxing with his teammates in the open, out in New York City. Conor McGregor was seen by many bystanders as he threw combos with the NYC skyline in the background.

Clearly, the Irishman hasn’t stopped training for any number of reasons. If anything, it looks like he’s finding more and more creative and exciting ways to make sure his training goes as planned. He had previously opened up about already having finished camp twice.

Now, will this be his third? Perhaps fans won’t be too pleased with him on this one as many demanded the return of ‘Karate McGregor’ instead. There was no big reason to troll the fighter this time around but his absence from an actual gym made some fans a little put-off.
